A tall, tightly set sans with extremely condensed proportions and pronounced stroke contrast. Curves are smooth and controlled, with round forms tending toward rounded-rectangle geometry that keeps counters slim and vertical. Terminals are clean and largely unadorned, and the overall rhythm is strongly vertical, with narrow sidebearings and crisp joins that create a sleek, columnar texture. Numerals match the condensed stance, with simple, elongated figures that align visually with the uppercase.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and short display copy where its condensed build and contrast can create impact. It also fits fashion, beauty, and premium branding systems that want a sleek, modern voice, and can work on packaging or signage when set with comfortable spacing.
The face projects a polished, editorial tone—cool, stylish, and slightly theatrical due to its sharp contrast and towering proportions. It reads as contemporary and refined, with a poised, high-end feel suited to statements rather than casual text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum elegance and presence in minimal horizontal space, combining a modern sans structure with dramatic contrast and softened, superelliptic round forms. The goal seems to be a distinctive, upscale display texture that remains clean and controlled.
The condensed structure makes spacing and word shapes feel tight and linear, emphasizing verticality over horizontality. High contrast and narrow counters suggest it will benefit from generous tracking and sufficient size to avoid clogging in dense settings.
