A highly condensed, monoline sans with an extreme vertical emphasis and compact lateral proportions. Strokes are consistently thin, with smooth, rounded-rectangle curves that keep counters narrow and elongated, especially in O/C/G-style forms. Terminals are clean and largely unmodulated, and the overall construction reads geometric rather than calligraphic, with a crisp baseline and restrained joins. The lowercase features a tall x-height and simplified shapes, while figures follow the same tall, narrow rhythm for a cohesive text color at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and editorial titling where height and narrow width help fit long words into limited horizontal space. It can work well for fashion branding, event posters, and modern packaging accents, especially when used at larger sizes or with increased letterspacing for clarity.
The font conveys a sleek, stylish tone that feels contemporary and design-led, with a cool restraint reminiscent of fashion mastheads and modern editorial layouts. Its narrow silhouettes and airy strokes create a refined, boutique-like presence that can also lean slightly dramatic due to the exaggerated height.
The design appears intended to maximize elegance and spatial efficiency through extreme condensation, pairing a geometric, rounded-rectangle skeleton with a very light, consistent stroke. The result prioritizes a distinctive vertical rhythm and a contemporary display character over small-size text robustness.
Because the strokes are very light and the counters are tight, the face benefits from generous tracking and works best when given room to breathe. The caps are particularly striking and uniform, producing strong vertical texture in headlines and short lines.
