This typeface features tall, condensed proportions with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a strongly vertical emphasis. Curves are clean and controlled, with fine hairlines in places like S, C, and the lowercase a/c, and heavier verticals that give the alphabet a steady, column-like rhythm. Terminals are mostly crisp and minimally treated, with little-to-no visible serifing, producing a sleek silhouette despite the contrast. The lowercase shows a compact, readable x-height with relatively tight apertures, while numerals and capitals share the same narrow, formal stance.
It is well suited to headlines, magazine and lookbook typography, and other display-forward settings where contrast and narrow proportions create impact. It can also work for branding and packaging where a refined, upscale voice is desired, especially at larger sizes where hairlines and interior details remain clear.
The overall tone reads polished and editorial, combining a modern cleanliness with a fashion-like sharpness. Its contrast and tall stance bring a sense of sophistication and drama, making text feel curated and intentional rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, contemporary display voice with elevated contrast and a compact footprint, maximizing presence in tight horizontal space. It balances geometric clarity with a fashion/editorial sensibility, aiming for a crisp, premium feel in titles and short blocks of text.
Spacing appears measured and on the tight side, reinforcing a compact texture in paragraphs. Some shapes (notably the capital Q and the lowercase g) add character through distinctive internal curves and tails while staying consistent with the font’s vertical rhythm and contrast model.
