A tall, condensed monolinear sans with hairline strokes and clean, geometric construction. Curves are smooth and near-circular, while verticals dominate the rhythm, creating a light, vertical texture on the line. Terminals are simple and unadorned, counters are generally open, and joins stay crisp without visible calligraphic swelling. The lowercase shows straightforward, compact shapes with modest ascender/descender presence, and figures match the same slender, streamlined build.
Best suited to display typography where its slender construction and condensed footprint can feel intentional—headlines, poster titles, brand wordmarks, and premium packaging. In editorial settings it works well for pull quotes, captions, and short blocks where size and spacing can be controlled for clarity.
The overall tone is quiet and precise, with a fashion-forward, gallery-like restraint. Its thin strokes and narrow proportions feel sophisticated and modern, leaning toward understated luxury rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears aimed at providing a sleek, high-end condensed sans for modern display use, prioritizing elegance, vertical rhythm, and minimal detailing over robust small-size readability.
At text sizes the very fine strokes can appear fragile, so it reads most confidently when given generous size, spacing, and contrast against the background. The condensed proportions create a tight horizontal footprint, emphasizing vertical rhythm and whitespace.
