A tall, condensed sans with a distinctly calligraphic, high-contrast skeleton. Strokes alternate between hairline-thin curves and thicker vertical stems, creating a sharp, sparkling rhythm in text. Counters are narrow and vertically oriented, with smooth, near-monoline curves interrupted by abrupt weight transitions at joins. Terminals are clean and mostly unadorned, while the overall spacing feels tight and columnar, reinforcing the vertical emphasis.
Well-suited for display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, poster titles, and elegant packaging typography. It can also work for short pull quotes or subheads where its condensed width helps fit more characters per line, provided sizes are large enough to preserve the hairline details.
The font conveys a polished, luxurious tone with a poised, runway-like presence. Its narrow stance and hairline details read as sophisticated and intentionally delicate, suggesting premium, design-forward communication rather than utilitarian UI clarity.
The design appears intended to blend a minimalist sans foundation with pronounced contrast to achieve an upscale, editorial feel. Its proportions prioritize height and elegance, aiming for striking verticality and a refined texture in large-format typography.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and slender apertures produce a dramatic texture that works best when set with generous size and breathing room. Numerals follow the same tall, refined construction, maintaining consistent vertical color alongside capitals and lowercase.
