A condensed, high-contrast sans with hairline horizontals and thicker verticals, producing a crisp vertical rhythm. Curves are taut and smooth, with open counters and a generally minimalist construction that stays free of overt ornament. Terminals are mostly clean and sharp, and the overall color on the page is light and airy while remaining clearly structured. Numerals follow the same narrow proportions and contrasting stroke logic, reading neatly in running text.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and display-sized editorial typography where its condensed proportions and sharp contrast can shine. It also works well for branding, packaging, and sophisticated poster layouts that benefit from a light, high-end texture rather than heavy paragraph color.
The font conveys a poised, editorial tone—cool, composed, and slightly dramatic due to its contrast and narrow stance. It feels contemporary and polished, with a fashion and magazine sensibility that emphasizes sophistication over warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, space-saving display voice with an upscale finish, leveraging strong vertical emphasis and delicate cross-strokes to create a modern, editorial presence.
Uppercase forms appear especially streamlined, giving headings a tall, architectural presence. In text settings the strong vertical emphasis creates a clean columnar texture, while the thin horizontals add a delicate, luxe finish.
