A sharply condensed display sans with tall proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are generally even with clear contrast showing most in curved joins and terminals, and the overall drawing feels clean and controlled. Counters are narrow and elongated, with rounded-rectangle tendencies in curved forms like O and C, and a consistently tight internal spacing that reinforces the slim silhouette. Terminals are mostly straight and clipped, with occasional subtle flares and tapered points that add bite without turning the design into a serif face.
Best used at display sizes where its condensed structure can create dense, striking headlines and titles. It suits magazine and lookbook typography, brand wordmarks, and packaging systems that benefit from tall, space-efficient letterforms. For longer reading, it will work more as a typographic accent (pull quotes, subheads, captions) than as primary body text.
The tone is refined and fashion-forward, with a poised, slightly dramatic presence that reads as contemporary editorial. Its compressed width and high verticality create a sense of urgency and sophistication, suited to sleek branding and curated layouts rather than casual text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a polished, contemporary finish. Its disciplined curves and clipped terminals suggest a focus on elegant, high-contrast rhythm and strong alignment in editorial and branding contexts.
The uppercase is especially statuesque, and the lowercase maintains the same narrow cadence with compact bowls and tall ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same condensed logic, producing a cohesive texture in mixed settings, while round letters keep a disciplined, superellipse-like containment that prevents the design from feeling loose.
