A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and generous interior whitespace. Curves are drawn as softened rectangles—rounded, superelliptic bowls and rounded-shoulder joins—paired with straight, vertical stems that keep the rhythm strict and linear. Counters are narrow and elongated, terminals are clean and largely unmodulated, and round letters (like O, C, G, Q) read as vertically stretched rounded rectangles. The overall texture is light and quiet, with consistent spacing that favors verticality and a refined, linear silhouette.
Best suited to display settings where its tall, refined silhouette can be appreciated: headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, brand wordmarks, packaging, and signage. It can work for short paragraphs or pull quotes when set with comfortable size and leading, but its narrow proportions and very light strokes favor larger sizes and high-contrast printing or screens.
The font projects a sleek, high-end minimalism with a slightly Art Deco–adjacent tallness. Its thin, quiet strokes and elongated forms feel stylish and composed, giving text a poised, editorial tone rather than a utilitarian one.
Likely designed to offer a modern, minimal condensed sans with softened geometry—combining strict vertical rhythm with superelliptic round forms for a distinctive, elegant voice. The goal appears to be a fashionable, space-efficient display face that stays clean and contemporary while retaining a subtle geometric personality.
In the samples, long passages remain legible but take on a delicate, whispery color; the tight, tall proportions can make similar shapes feel closer together at small sizes. The numerals follow the same condensed, rounded-rectangle logic, matching the uppercase for a cohesive, display-oriented set.
