A tall, tightly set sans with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, clean finish. The forms are vertically emphasized with narrow counters and compact widths, creating a disciplined, column-like texture in lines of text. Curves are smooth and controlled (notably in O/C/S), while joins and terminals stay sharp and minimally detailed, keeping the overall silhouette sleek rather than ornamental. The uppercase reads especially commanding due to its height and compressed proportions, and the lowercase follows with similarly narrow, neatly constructed shapes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and display settings where its condensed proportions and contrast can add elegance and presence. It can also work for branding and packaging that benefits from a sleek, premium voice, especially where space is limited and a tall silhouette helps create impact.
The font conveys a refined, metropolitan tone with a subtle Art Deco flavor—poised, upscale, and slightly dramatic. Its high-contrast strokes and condensed stance feel tailored and fashion-forward, suggesting sophistication rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated condensed sans for display-driven typography, combining clean, modern construction with fashion/editorial contrast. It prioritizes a striking vertical profile and polished curves to create memorable titles and refined brand statements.
The rhythm in running text is strongly vertical, with repeated slim stems producing a steady, architectural cadence. Numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast logic, and round characters keep a consistent, polished ovality that supports a cohesive overall color.
