A very thin monoline sans with condensed proportions and generous vertical reach. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse geometry, giving bowls and counters a softly squared, even rhythm rather than pure circles. Terminals are clean and uncomplicated, and joins stay crisp, with consistent stroke weight throughout. The overall texture is light and open, with clear, simple forms and a restrained, contemporary feel.
Best suited to display settings where its delicate strokes and condensed width can create spacious, high-end titles—such as posters, magazine headlines, brand wordmarks, and packaging. In longer passages it can work for short editorial blurbs or captions when set large with ample tracking and line spacing.
The font reads as calm and understated, with an elegant, almost architectural lightness. Its narrow, tall stance and softened geometry convey a modern, refined tone that feels careful and deliberate rather than expressive or playful.
Designed to deliver a lightweight, space-efficient sans with softened geometric structure, pairing a refined hairline presence with rounded-rectangle forms for a distinctive, contemporary silhouette.
Round letters like O/C/G and the digit set show the superellipse influence most clearly, producing squared-off curvature that stays smooth at the corners. The lowercase maintains a streamlined, single-storey construction where applicable, supporting a clean, minimalist rhythm in text.
