A tall, condensed roman with clean, monoline-leaning strokes and subtly tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and open, with generous counters that keep the narrow proportions readable. Uppercase forms are simple and vertical, with restrained joins and minimal detailing; the lowercase follows a straightforward, two-storey construction where applicable and keeps ascenders and descenders long and tidy. Numerals match the condensed rhythm, with clear differentiation and consistent stroke behavior across straight and curved shapes.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and space-efficient layouts where a tall, narrow voice is useful. It can work in short-to-medium text in editorial settings, captions, and UI labels when ample size and comfortable line spacing are available.
The overall tone is poised and contemporary, with a calm, editorial feel. Its narrow silhouette and restrained detailing read as sophisticated and deliberate rather than decorative, giving text a quiet sense of polish.
Likely designed to deliver an elegant, space-saving typographic color with modern neutrality. The emphasis on narrow proportions, open counters, and restrained terminals suggests an intent to remain versatile for editorial and branding while keeping a refined, contemporary presence.
Spacing appears carefully balanced for such condensed forms, avoiding pinched apertures in letters like c, e, and s. The round letters (o, 0, 8, 9) keep a consistent oval logic, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) stay crisp without becoming spiky, supporting a smooth line rhythm in paragraphs.
