A tall, condensed sans with extremely fine, monoline strokes and generous interior space. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse geometry, giving O/C/G and other bowls a soft, squared-round feel rather than a purely circular one. Terminals are clean and blunt, joins are crisp, and counters stay open even in tighter shapes. The overall rhythm is vertical and even, with restrained detailing and consistent stroke behavior across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display sizes where its hairline construction can stay crisp: headlines, poster typography, fashion and lifestyle branding, editorial titles, and elegant packaging. It also works well for short UI labels or navigation when ample size and contrast are available, but is likely to feel too faint for dense body copy.
The font conveys a quiet, refined modernism—cool, sparse, and design-forward. Its thin strokes and narrow proportions create an airy, elegant tone that feels fashion-oriented and architectural rather than friendly or casual.
The design appears intended as a refined, space-efficient display sans that combines ultra-thin strokes with softly squared round forms. It prioritizes a modern, curated look and a distinctive superellipse geometry to stand apart from standard condensed grotesques.
Distinctive superellipse rounds show up strongly in the bowls, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) stay sharp and linear, emphasizing a sleek, high-contrast-in-size silhouette (without contrast in stroke). The numeral set matches the same narrow, minimalist construction, supporting a cohesive display texture.
