A highly condensed, tall sans with a strict monoline stroke and generous vertical proportions. Curves are smooth and oval-based (notably in C/O/Q), while straight strokes remain crisp and even, producing a clean, linear rhythm. The lowercase is notably small relative to the ascenders and caps, with long extenders and compact counters that emphasize a vertical, column-like texture in text. Terminals are simple and unembellished, keeping the overall silhouette spare and controlled.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and display typography where height and narrowness help conserve horizontal space. It works well for editorial layouts, boutique branding, packaging, and minimalist posters, especially when given room through tracking and leading. For extended small-size reading, its condensed forms and small lowercase presence may require careful sizing and spacing.
The overall tone is poised and understated, with a fashion-forward, gallery-label sensibility. Its narrow, tall forms feel precise and quiet, projecting refinement more than friendliness, and creating an airy, modern atmosphere when set with ample tracking or leading.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, space-saving display voice: tall, narrow letterforms with a restrained stroke and rounded construction to maintain clarity while maximizing vertical elegance. Its simplified detailing and consistent stroke suggest an emphasis on clean reproduction and a contemporary, design-led tone.
Because the design is extremely condensed with compact interior spaces, the font’s texture can become dense at smaller sizes; it benefits from larger setting sizes and comfortable spacing. Numerals follow the same tall, slim logic, pairing neatly with uppercase titling and vertically oriented layouts.
