This typeface is extremely condensed with tall proportions and a pronounced thick–thin contrast. Strokes transition to fine hairlines in places, while verticals remain comparatively firm, creating a crisp, engraved-like rhythm. Curves are controlled and smooth with rounded-rectangle tendencies in bowls and counters, and terminals are clean and unembellished rather than bracketed. The lowercase is compact with a straightforward two-storey “a” and single-storey “g,” and the figures are similarly narrow and vertical, reinforcing the tight, high-rhythm texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography where a condensed footprint and high contrast add presence without requiring wide measures. It can also work for branding wordmarks and packaging display lines that need a tall, elegant profile, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, mixing modern minimalism with a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward contrast. It feels precise and upscale, projecting clarity and restraint rather than warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, high-impact display voice with refined contrast and controlled, rounded geometry—aimed at modern editorial settings where elegance and vertical emphasis are desirable.
In continuous reading, the tight width and strong contrast produce a striking vertical cadence and bright, open counters despite the narrow set. The design favors clean alignment and sharp typography at larger sizes where the fine strokes can remain distinct.
