A tall, tightly set sans with extreme vertical proportions and pronounced contrast between thick stems and hairline curves. Counters and bowls lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry, giving O/C/e-like shapes a squarish softness rather than perfect circles. Joins are clean and abrupt, terminals are mostly flat, and the thin strokes can taper into needle-like details on diagonals and curved joins. The rhythm is vertical and columnar, with consistent stroke logic across caps, lowercase, and numerals and a clean, controlled baseline presence.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and brand marks where its tall condensed proportions and crisp contrast can read clearly. It also works well on packaging and signage that aims for a premium, contemporary feel, especially when set with generous tracking and ample whitespace.
The overall tone is sleek and editorial, projecting a sense of luxury, restraint, and contemporary polish. Its narrow, high-waisted silhouette feels fashion-forward and slightly dramatic, with a cool, minimal voice that suits elevated branding rather than casual everyday text.
The type appears designed to deliver maximum elegance and impact within minimal horizontal space, combining a modern sans framework with softened superelliptical curves. Its stylization and contrast suggest a display-first intention: to look sharp, refined, and distinctive at larger sizes.
The design relies on delicate hairlines that create sharp sparkle in large sizes, while the condensed spacing and contrast create a strong vertical cadence. Several glyphs show distinctive, stylized constructions (notably in bowls and diagonals) that emphasize display character and make the font feel intentionally bespoke.
