A slender, condensed roman with clean, unbracketed serifs and a strongly vertical posture. Strokes show clear modulation, with hairline-like joins and sharper terminals that keep the texture airy at larger sizes while still reading as structured. Curves are smooth and narrow, counters are tight, and the overall rhythm is even and columnar, giving lines a tall, streamlined silhouette. The lowercase maintains a relatively high waist and compact apertures, while capitals stay restrained and narrow, creating a consistent, editorial color across mixed-case text.
Best suited to display and titling: magazine heads, pull quotes, posters, packaging, and brand wordmarks where a tall, elegant texture is desirable. It can also work for short editorial subheads and captions when spacing is handled carefully, but it reads most confidently at larger sizes where the fine details and modulation stay clear.
The tone is polished and contemporary with a classic, fashion-leaning sophistication. Its narrow proportions and crisp modulation feel poised and intentional, suggesting premium branding and curated publishing rather than utilitarian interface work.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, space-efficient voice—combining condensed proportions with crisp, modulated strokes to create an upscale, editorial presence in tight layouts.
The font’s condensed width makes word shapes compact and vertical, which can amplify impact in headlines and help fit more characters per line. The numerals follow the same sleek, modulated construction, keeping a cohesive typographic voice in settings that mix text and figures.
