A monoline sans with tall, condensed proportions and generous verticality. Strokes are consistently thin with minimal modulation, and curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse forms that keep counters smooth and controlled. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, with occasional soft rounding at joins; spacing is open enough to preserve clarity despite the narrow set width. Numerals and uppercase follow the same restrained geometry, creating a uniform, linear rhythm across text.
Best suited to display settings where a slim, space-saving voice is useful—headlines, subheads, brand wordmarks, and editorial titles. It can also work for interface labels or packaging callouts when set at comfortable sizes and with adequate tracking to maintain legibility.
The overall tone is calm, refined, and contemporary, with a pared-back, design-forward feel. Its light touch and narrow stance give it an understated elegance that reads as premium and carefully engineered rather than expressive or playful.
Likely designed to provide a sleek, condensed sans with superelliptical round forms—balancing strict geometry with softened corners for a modern, architectural texture. The emphasis appears to be on clean rhythm and a refined silhouette for contemporary display typography.
Round letters such as O/Q and the bowls in B/P/R show the signature rounded-rectangle construction, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) stay sharp and taut. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian structure, supporting long lines of text with a consistent vertical cadence.
