A slender, condensed sans with monoline strokes and rounded terminals. Letterforms are built from simple geometric curves and straight stems, with generous interior counters and a clean, even rhythm. Proportions are tall and narrow, with small lowercase bodies relative to long ascenders and descenders; this gives the text a vertical, reed-like texture. Curves stay smooth and restrained, and joins are kept crisp, preserving clarity despite the fine stroke weight.
Best suited to display settings where its fine strokes and condensed width can read as sophisticated and spacious: headlines, poster typography, packaging, and logotype wordmarks. It can also work for short captions or UI labels in larger sizes, where the small x-height and thin strokes won’t be overwhelmed.
The overall tone feels quiet and refined—lightweight and understated rather than assertive. Its narrow, minimalist construction suggests a contemporary, design-forward sensibility with a slightly boutique, editorial elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a pared-back, contemporary sans voice with a narrow footprint and a refined, fashion-leaning texture. Emphasis is placed on clean geometry, open counters, and an elegant vertical rhythm rather than robustness for long body copy.
Numerals follow the same narrow, airy construction, with rounded figures and a clean, legible “0” featuring a diagonal slash. The lowercase shows a notably small x-height with prominent extenders, which can look stylish at larger sizes but reads more delicate in dense text.
