This typeface is built from extremely slender, monoline strokes and tightly condensed proportions. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) shapes, giving bowls and counters a soft, pill-like geometry rather than circular forms. Terminals are clean and unadorned, joins are crisp, and the overall rhythm is vertical and linear, with long ascenders/descenders and compact sidebearings that create a continuous, columnar texture in text. Numerals follow the same narrow, elongated structure, with simple, open forms that keep the set consistent.
Best suited to display settings where its tall, slender construction can be appreciated: headlines, poster typography, mastheads, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for editorial pull quotes or short captions when set large enough to preserve clarity.
The overall tone feels refined and understated, with a cool, contemporary precision. Its narrow, high-verticality silhouette reads fashion-forward and architectural, lending an elevated, curated mood rather than a casual or friendly one.
The design appears aimed at a modern condensed sans that prioritizes vertical elegance and a distinctive rounded-rectangle construction. By keeping strokes uniform and details minimal, it creates a sleek, contemporary voice for high-impact display use.
Round letters such as O/Q/C show a distinctly softened-rectangle contour, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) stay sharp and linear, emphasizing contrast between straight and rounded components. In text, the extreme slimness produces a light, airy color that benefits from generous size and spacing.
