A tall, condensed roman with clean, largely monolinear construction and gently modulated stroke transitions. Curves are smooth and controlled, with round characters feeling slightly tightened and vertically emphasized rather than broadly circular. Terminals read crisp and mostly unadorned, and the overall rhythm is driven by long ascenders/descenders and narrow counters that keep word shapes compact. Uppercase forms are stately and vertical, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, text-ready structure with clear apertures and restrained detailing.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its condensed proportions and elegant rhythm can define the page. It also fits fashion, culture, and premium branding systems that want a modern, minimalist voice without heavy geometric rigidity. For longer text, it will typically perform better at larger sizes and with comfortable line spacing.
The tone is refined and contemporary, with an elegant, high-fashion narrowness that feels composed rather than aggressive. Its disciplined verticality and clean finishes give it a premium, editorial voice suited to sophisticated, minimal layouts.
The design appears aimed at delivering a sleek, space-efficient typographic color with a polished, editorial sensibility. Its restrained details and tall proportions suggest an intention to provide a modern condensed voice that stays calm, legible, and visually upscale in display settings.
In the sample text, the narrow set and tall capitals create strong vertical emphasis and generous white space between lines, helping large sizes feel light and luxurious. The numerals follow the same slender proportions, reading crisp and display-oriented, and the overall impression stays consistent across mixed-case passages.
