A clean, condensed sans with tall proportions and consistently thin strokes. Curved letters lean on rounded-rectangle geometry: bowls and counters feel superelliptical rather than perfectly circular, with smooth, even curvature and softly rounded joins. Vertical strokes dominate the rhythm, while horizontals and diagonals stay crisp and spare, giving the design a narrow, columnar texture. Spacing is relatively open for such a tight width, helping the delicate forms stay legible in lines of text.
Works well where vertical economy and a modern voice are needed: headlines, subheads, posters, and brand wordmarks, especially in layouts that benefit from a narrow measure. It also suits UI labels and packaging titling when used at sizes large enough to preserve the fine strokes.
The overall tone is cool and understated, with an architectural, contemporary feel. Its narrow build and restrained detailing read as efficient and refined, suited to modern, minimalist aesthetics rather than expressive or nostalgic ones.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary, space-saving sans that feels precise and polished, using rounded-rectangle construction to keep curves orderly and consistent while maintaining an elegant, lightweight presence.
Distinctive shapes include a tall, rounded-rectangular “O,” a “Q” with a descending tail, and numerals that keep the same thin, streamlined logic (notably a rounded “0” and a single-stroke style “1”). The lowercase maintains a compact, controlled presence with modest extenders and a calm, consistent texture across words.
