This typeface is built on tall, condensed proportions with generous vertical reach and tight horizontal footprint. Strokes are clean and controlled with subtle modulation, and curves are drawn with smooth, rounded-rectangle logic that keeps bowls and counters tidy and consistent. Terminals are largely plain and unembellished, producing a sleek silhouette; the lowercase shows simple, open forms with a single-storey “g” and a compact, unobtrusive “a.” Figures are similarly streamlined, with clear, linear construction that matches the narrow rhythm of the letters.
It works best for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other short-to-medium text where a tall, economical footprint is useful. The refined contrast and clean construction suit magazine design, fashion and lifestyle branding, posters, and packaging where a modern, polished voice is desired.
The overall tone is poised and contemporary, projecting a quiet sophistication rather than overt personality. Its narrow cadence feels fashion-forward and architectural, while the smooth curves keep it approachable and calm.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, high-style sans for contemporary layouts, combining narrow proportions with smooth, superelliptical curves for a controlled, premium look.
The condensed width creates strong vertical texture and makes spacing and alignment feel disciplined, especially in headlines. Round letters maintain compact counters, and the mix of straight stems and softened curves gives the face a crisp, editorial finish.
