A condensed, monoline sans with tall proportions and generous vertical emphasis. Strokes remain even and fine throughout, with soft, rounded-rectangle shaping in bowls and counters that keeps curves smooth and controlled. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, with small radiused corners that prevent sharpness. Spacing is measured and consistent, and the overall rhythm feels orderly and vertical, helping long lines look calm and uniform.
Works best in headlines, short paragraphs, and display settings where a tall, condensed texture is desirable. It can bring a sleek, space-saving look to branding, packaging, and editorial layouts, especially when used with ample line spacing and generous margins.
The tone is understated and contemporary, with a quiet elegance that reads as precise rather than expressive. Its light footprint and narrow stance create an airy, architectural feel suited to clean systems and restrained branding.
Likely designed to deliver a clean, condensed voice with softened geometry—prioritizing an efficient vertical footprint while keeping forms friendly through rounded superelliptical curves. The intent appears to balance modern minimalism with legibility-driven simplicity.
Round letters like O and Q appear more superelliptical than purely circular, and numerals follow the same tall, streamlined logic. Uppercase forms maintain a consistent narrow width, while lowercase stays simple and utilitarian for continuous reading at display sizes.
