A tall, slender text face with a distinctly vertical posture and generous white space between strokes. The design relies on fine hairlines paired with thicker stems, creating a clean contrast that reads as crisp rather than calligraphic. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are open, and terminals tend toward sharp, decisive endings with minimal ornament. Overall rhythm is narrow and tightly spaced in silhouette, with a consistent, polished construction across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display and larger text settings such as headlines, magazine layouts, mastheads, and brand wordmarks where its slim proportions and contrast can stay intact. It can work for short subheads and pull quotes when given adequate size and leading, and it pairs well with simpler companions for body copy.
The tone is refined and high-end, suggesting fashion and cultural publishing rather than utilitarian UI. Its thin strokes and elongated proportions give it a poised, slightly dramatic presence that feels modern and curated. The contrast adds a touch of sophistication without becoming ornate.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary, upscale voice in a condensed footprint, balancing modern cleanliness with just enough contrast to feel premium. The emphasis appears to be on elegant verticality, clear silhouettes, and a refined texture for titles and editorial typography.
Capitals appear especially towering and stately, while round forms like O/C maintain a calm, near-monolinear contour that is sharpened by contrast at joins and stress points. The numerals echo the same narrow, elegant build, maintaining a cohesive texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
