A condensed sans with pronounced vertical emphasis and clear stroke modulation. Stems read as sturdy and straight, while joins, terminals, and bowls taper to finer strokes, creating a crisp, engraved-like contrast without adding serifs. Counters are compact and generally oval, with tight apertures and a consistent, disciplined rhythm across uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction with clean curves and minimal ornament.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, mastheads, and other display applications where its contrast and condensed proportions can create a striking, efficient line. It can also work for brand systems, packaging, and editorial pull quotes—especially when space is limited and a sophisticated, high-impact voice is desired.
The overall tone is cool, controlled, and stylish, balancing modern simplicity with a touch of drama from the contrast. Its tall, columnar silhouette feels metropolitan and editorial, lending a composed elegance that can read as fashion-forward or institutional depending on spacing and scale.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving sans that still feels premium and expressive, using contrast and tall proportions to stand out while remaining clean and contemporary.
In text, the strong vertical strokes create a confident texture, while the fine hairlines add sparkle at larger sizes. The narrow proportions and tight internal spaces suggest careful tracking and generous line spacing will help maintain clarity in longer settings.
