A tall, condensed text face with very slim stems and restrained flare at terminals, giving a clean silhouette without obvious ornament. Curves are smooth and controlled, with gentle modulation in stroke weight that reads most clearly in round forms and diagonals. Proportions are vertically emphasized: narrow bowls, compact counters, and long ascenders/descenders create a graceful rhythm. Numerals follow the same narrow, lightweight construction, with open, rounded forms and a tidy, consistent baseline presence.
Best suited to display sizes where its thin strokes and condensed proportions can read cleanly—magazine headlines, pull quotes, brand marks, and premium packaging. It also works well for short blocks of text in high-contrast layouts where an airy, refined typographic color is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and quiet, with a fashion-forward clarity that feels modern rather than nostalgic. Its light touch and verticality convey sophistication and restraint, producing an upscale, editorial mood.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, space-efficient voice with a luxurious edge—combining narrow proportions and delicate strokes to create an elegant typographic texture for contemporary editorial and branding contexts.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and columnar, reinforcing the condensed texture in continuous text. The ampersand and curved lowercase forms keep the style soft and polished, preventing the narrow proportions from feeling rigid.
