A condensed, high-contrast display sans with tall proportions and a distinctly vertical rhythm. Strokes alternate between very thin hairlines and strong vertical stems, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves shaping bowls and counters. Terminals are mostly clean and unbracketed, while many joins and ends show subtle flare or taper that keeps the forms from feeling purely mechanical. The lowercase is compact and upright, with narrow apertures and smooth, continuous curves; numerals follow the same tall, streamlined logic with especially thin horizontals and diagonals.
Best suited for headlines, cover lines, and short bursts of text where its contrast and condensed width can create impact without consuming space. It can work well for fashion/editorial branding, packaging fronts, event posters, and sophisticated logotypes, especially at medium to large sizes where the hairlines remain crisp.
The overall tone feels Art Deco–leaning and editorial: sleek, poised, and slightly theatrical. Its sharp contrast and narrow set give it a confident, upscale presence that reads as fashion-forward and metropolitan rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to merge a modern, sans framework with Deco-inspired proportions and superelliptic rounding, prioritizing elegance and verticality. Its strong stem/hairline contrast suggests a display-first purpose aimed at creating a polished, high-end voice in contemporary layouts.
Round letters (O, Q, 0, 8, 9) emphasize a squared-off oval silhouette, creating a distinctive, structured softness. Diagonals (V, W, X, Y, 4, 7) appear notably light against the heavier verticals, reinforcing the dramatic contrast and making large sizes particularly striking.
