A tall, tightly set sans with a strongly vertical rhythm and compact letterfit. Strokes are clean and consistent with subtle contrast that shows most in curves and joins, while terminals remain crisp and largely unadorned. Rounded characters (such as C, O, and U) read as squarish ovals with softly flattened sides, giving the face a controlled, geometric feel. Lowercase forms keep a straightforward construction with compact bowls and narrow apertures; descenders are long and linear, contributing to an overall elongated silhouette. Numerals follow the same condensed proportions with clear, high-contrast-in-the-details shapes that stay legible at display sizes.
Best suited to display settings where a condensed voice is helpful: magazine headlines, poster titles, mastheads, and brand wordmarks that need to feel premium and space-efficient. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes where its tall rhythm adds emphasis without requiring large point sizes.
The tone is modern and editorial, with a poised, high-fashion sensibility. Its condensed stance and disciplined geometry suggest sophistication and restraint rather than friendliness, making it feel sleek, urban, and design-forward.
The design appears aimed at delivering a space-saving display sans that maintains elegance through controlled contrast and softened-rectilinear curves. Its geometry and consistent rhythm prioritize a polished, contemporary look for high-impact typography.
The font’s narrow proportions create a strong texture line in text, with pronounced verticals and relatively modest counters. Capital forms feel statuesque and space-efficient, and the punctuation and figures visually match the same tall, compact cadence.
