A tall, condensed display face with slender stems and clean, serifless endings, shaped with subtle modulation that creates a gentle thick–thin rhythm. Curves are narrow and verticalized, giving bowls and rounds a stretched, columnar feel, while joins stay crisp and uncluttered. The lowercase is similarly upright and streamlined, with compact forms and small, neat punctuation; numerals follow the same narrow, elongated proportions for a consistent text color in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and brand marks where a condensed, elegant voice is needed. It works particularly well in editorial and packaging contexts to fit more characters per line without losing a premium, designed feel, and it can add a sleek, modern tone to titles and short pull quotes.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, leaning toward a classic fashion-editorial look with a hint of Art Deco restraint. Its narrow stance and controlled contrast read as refined and contemporary rather than casual, projecting a cool, curated personality.
The design appears intended as a space-saving display sans with a premium, stylized finish—pairing condensed proportions with tasteful stroke modulation to create a distinctive, high-end voice for titles and branding.
Spacing appears intentionally tight-to-moderate for a condensed design, producing an even vertical cadence across words and lines. The design emphasizes height and slim negative spaces, which keeps long lines feeling light and economical while maintaining a polished silhouette.
