A slim, monoline sans with tall proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Curves are drawn with softly squared, superellipse-like rounding, giving bowls and terminals a gently rectangular smoothness rather than geometric circles. Strokes maintain an even thickness throughout, with clean joins and minimal modulation. The lowercase shows a straightforward construction with compact bowls, a single-storey “g,” a narrow “s,” and a simple “t” with a short crossbar; counters stay open despite the condensed width. Figures are similarly slender and consistent, and punctuation appears light and unobtrusive.
Best suited to display settings where its slender build and tall rhythm can breathe—headlines, posters, wordmarks, packaging, and environmental signage. It can also work for short UI labels or captions when ample size and spacing are available.
The overall tone is restrained and contemporary, with a crisp, architectural calm. Its light touch and rounded-rectangle curves feel refined and slightly futuristic, leaning more toward understated elegance than bold personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, modern condensed voice with softened geometry—combining a minimal monoline structure with superellipse-based curves to feel both precise and approachable.
The condensed width and tall ascenders create generous white space between strokes, which helps preserve clarity at larger sizes. The superelliptical rounding keeps the design from feeling harsh, softening the texture while retaining a precise, linear look.
