A hairline, tall condensed design with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clean, minimalist construction. Curves are smooth and taut, with long vertical stems and narrow apertures that create a consistent, high-rhythm texture. Terminals read as mostly plain and unadorned, with occasional tapered endings; counters stay open but slender, and numerals follow the same thin, elongated logic for a cohesive page color.
Best suited for headlines, magazine covers, pull quotes, branding, and other display applications where its delicate contrast can be appreciated at larger sizes. It works well in high-end packaging and campaign typography that benefits from a narrow, space-efficient silhouette and a sophisticated, editorial texture.
The overall tone is poised and luxe, combining delicacy with a sharp, contemporary edge. Its extreme finesse and vertical emphasis evoke runway/editorial typography, giving text a polished, high-end feel rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
This design appears intended to deliver a modern, premium display voice built around extreme finesse, condensed proportions, and dramatic contrast. The restrained detailing keeps it clean and contemporary while the vertical emphasis and thin strokes add exclusivity and visual drama.
The very fine horizontals and hairline joins make the face feel sensitive to reproduction conditions, while the condensed proportions help it occupy little width in display settings. The glyph set shown maintains a disciplined vertical alignment and consistent contrast behavior across caps, lowercase, and figures, supporting a sleek, unified typographic voice.
