A slender, monoline sans with markedly tall proportions and a compact x-height. Strokes stay even throughout, with softly rounded terminals that keep counters open and shapes approachable despite the narrow set. Curves are smooth and slightly elastic, while verticals dominate the rhythm, giving the design a clean, column-like texture. Numerals and lowercase follow the same light, tidy construction, with simple joins and restrained detailing.
Works best for headlines and short display lines where its tall, narrow silhouette can add sophistication without taking much horizontal space. It also suits minimalist branding, packaging, and editorial pull quotes where a light, airy presence is desired. For dense body text, its fine strokes and compact x-height may read better with ample size and leading.
The overall tone feels quiet and refined—light on its feet, contemporary, and gently personable rather than clinical. Its narrow, vertical rhythm suggests an efficient, modern sensibility, while the rounded endings add warmth and softness.
Likely designed to provide a space-saving, contemporary sans with a gentle, rounded finish—combining a sleek vertical cadence with a friendly edge for modern display typography.
The condensed width and tall ascenders/descenders create strong vertical emphasis and generous white space between strokes, which can look elegant at display sizes. At smaller sizes, the extremely thin strokes may require careful use to avoid looking faint, especially on low-contrast backgrounds.
