A monoline sans with slender, condensed proportions and a strongly vertical stance. Curves are drawn as smooth, rounded-rectangle forms, giving bowls and counters a soft, superelliptical geometry rather than perfect circles. Strokes stay consistent in thickness with squared terminals and crisp joins, producing a clean, wire-like rhythm. The lowercase is compact with notably tall ascenders and descenders relative to the x-height, while capitals are similarly narrow and refined. Numerals follow the same thin, linear construction, with open, simple shapes that match the font’s restrained, geometric voice.
Best suited for display typography where its thin strokes and condensed silhouette can be appreciated—headlines, short editorial titles, packaging, and identity systems. It can work well for upscale or minimalist branding, museum-style titling, and contemporary posters, especially when given generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is quiet, precise, and design-forward—more gallery label than everyday text. Its light touch and narrow stance feel elegant and slightly Art Deco–leaning, conveying sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or exuberance.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, contemporary geometric voice with a recognizable superelliptical curve language, prioritizing elegance and visual rhythm over utilitarian body-text robustness.
In running text the tight interior spaces and short lowercase body make the design read as display-oriented, especially at smaller sizes. The uppercase set and figures maintain a consistent vertical rhythm, and the rounded-rectangle curves create a distinct signature in letters like O, C, and Q.
