A monoline, condensed sans with strongly vertical proportions and rounded-rectangle construction in its curves. Strokes stay consistently thin throughout, with smooth joins and softened terminals that keep the texture even and restrained. Counters are narrow but generally open, and the overall rhythm is tidy and columnar, with a slightly “high-waisted” feel in several lowercase forms. Numerals and capitals follow the same narrow, streamlined geometry for a cohesive, lightweight system.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium editorial settings where a sleek, compact voice is desired. It works well for branding, packaging, and poster typography that benefits from a refined, high-end feel, especially when set with generous tracking or ample white space.
The font reads as clean and refined, with a fashion-forward, gallery-like quietness. Its narrow build and hairline strokes give it an airy, sophisticated tone that feels contemporary and understated rather than loud or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary condensed sans that stays light, polished, and geometrically consistent, emphasizing a sleek vertical silhouette and rounded-rectangle curves for a distinctive but restrained personality.
Round characters lean toward superelliptical shapes rather than pure circles, giving O/Q/0 a softly squared silhouette. The lowercase shows a mix of straight stems and gentle bowls, and the overall spacing appears tuned for a continuous, delicate line in text while remaining distinctly display-leaning in presence.
