A monoline sans with extremely tall proportions and a compact horizontal footprint. Curves are drawn as smooth, rounded-rectangle forms, giving bowls and counters a softly squared, superelliptical character. Terminals are clean and unadorned, with simple joins and a consistent, hairline stroke throughout. Spacing is even and restrained, producing a calm vertical rhythm; diagonals are crisp and narrow, and round letters stay relatively straight-sided rather than fully circular.
Best suited to display settings where its tall, delicate forms can breathe—editorial headlines, fashion or beauty branding, minimalist packaging, and poster typography. It can work for short UI labels or captions when size and contrast are sufficient, but the hairline construction favors larger sizes and clean printing or high-resolution screens.
The overall tone is minimalist and precise, with an airy, high-end feel that reads as modern and slightly clinical. Its slender presence lends a delicate sophistication, suggesting quiet luxury rather than friendliness or warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver an ultra-slender, contemporary sans voice with rounded-rect geometry and a refined, high-contrast-in-practice silhouette (through thin strokes and ample whitespace). It prioritizes elegance and visual rhythm over robustness, aiming for a distinctive modern display texture.
Round letters like O/C/G/Q show a distinctive rounded-rectangle silhouette, while numerals echo the same tall, streamlined construction. The thin strokes and condensed forms emphasize verticality, making the design feel architectural and light on the page.
