This typeface uses tall, compact proportions with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Stems are straight and disciplined, while curves are tight and controlled, giving letters a sculpted, slightly calligraphic feel without overt ornament. The lowercase shows a two-storey “a” and “g,” a narrow footprint, and a steady x-height that keeps text orderly; punctuation and numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with delicate hairlines and strong verticals.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and editorial layouts where high contrast and tight width can add sophistication without consuming space. It can also work for premium branding and packaging, especially when set large or with slightly increased letterspacing.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, pairing elegance with a sense of drama created by the sharp contrast and narrow stance. It reads as confident and premium—more fashion and culture magazine than casual UI—while still maintaining a clean, modern restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, space-efficient display voice with pronounced contrast and a controlled, contemporary structure. Its narrow proportions and crisp detailing suggest an aim toward elegant impact in titles and short-form typography while retaining a consistent, text-capable rhythm.
In text, the strong vertical rhythm can look striking at display sizes, while the very thin connecting strokes and terminals become visually delicate as sizes get smaller. The condensed width and high contrast create a dense texture, so generous tracking and comfortable line spacing help maintain clarity.
