A monoline sans with condensed proportions and a distinctly vertical, elongated rhythm. Strokes are hairline-thin and even throughout, with rounded-rectangle curves on bowls and counters that keep forms soft while remaining geometric. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, and the overall spacing feels measured, producing a quiet, gallery-like texture in text. Numerals follow the same slim, tall construction, with simple, open shapes and restrained detailing.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, magazine titling, fashion or beauty branding, and refined packaging where its slim verticality can shine. It works well in short to medium text blocks at generous sizes, especially when ample tracking and leading can preserve clarity. For interfaces or dense body copy, it will typically need larger sizes and careful contrast management.
The font conveys a light, sophisticated mood—cool, minimal, and fashion-forward. Its thin strokes and narrow stance feel delicate and precise, suggesting refinement rather than warmth or playfulness. The rounded geometry adds a subtle friendliness while preserving an editorial, contemporary tone.
The design appears intended to provide a sleek, contemporary condensed voice with a restrained geometric softness. It prioritizes elegance and vertical emphasis, aiming for a distinctive editorial presence while maintaining clean, straightforward letterforms.
The condensed width and very fine strokes create a high-elegance look but also make internal spaces and joins visually fragile at smaller sizes. The design’s superelliptical rounding is most apparent in letters with bowls and in the overall counter shapes, giving the face a consistent, softly geometric identity across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
