This typeface has tall, slender proportions with generous vertical rhythm and notably open counters. Strokes are clean and controlled with a restrained contrast that becomes most visible in curves and joins, giving round letters a polished, drawn feel rather than a purely geometric one. Terminals are mostly smooth and simplified, and curves read as softly squared/oval forms in places, producing a tidy, contemporary texture. Lowercase forms are straightforward and readable, with a single-storey “g” and a compact, uncluttered “a”, while numerals are slim and consistent with the overall vertical emphasis.
Well suited to headlines, mastheads, and brand systems that want a clean, upscale voice with a compact footprint. It should perform nicely in posters, packaging, and editorial pull quotes where its tall proportions and refined curves can create a distinctive, high-end atmosphere.
The overall tone is poised and contemporary, balancing a minimal, modern sensibility with a slightly dressy refinement. It feels composed and premium without becoming ornate, projecting clarity and confidence in larger settings.
The design appears intended to offer a modern, space-efficient display sans with a refined finish—combining simplified terminals and soft-rectilinear curves to produce an elegant, contemporary texture for branding and editorial typography.
The narrow set and ample whitespace create a delicate page color, and the caps appear especially tall, reinforcing a vertical, fashion-forward presence. Spacing and letterfit look designed for display and short text, where the crisp outlines and open shapes can be appreciated.
