Keywords: headlines, magazines, posters, branding, packaging, editorial, refined, modernist, cool, literary, space saving, elegance, editorial tone, premium feel, condensed, crisp, airy, calligraphic, flared terminals.
A condensed, high-contrast sans with tall proportions and a clean, editorial rhythm. Strokes alternate between very thin hairlines and fuller verticals, giving a crisp, slightly calligraphic texture without true serifs. Curves are smooth and controlled, with rounded joins and occasional subtle flare at terminals (notably in S, J, and some lowercase). Uppercase forms are narrow and vertical, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward structure and a relatively modest x-height, producing a tall, elegant silhouette in text.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and condensed width can create elegant density—magazine headlines, cover lines, posters, and brand wordmarks. It can work for short editorial subheads and pull quotes, but extended body copy may require generous size and spacing due to the fine hairlines.
The overall tone feels refined and contemporary, with a fashion/editorial coolness driven by its slender proportions and sharp contrast. It reads as poised and deliberate rather than casual, projecting a polished, literary character.
Likely designed to deliver an elegant, space-efficient sans voice with high-contrast sophistication, bridging modern sans construction with a hint of calligraphic terminal shaping for a more premium, editorial feel.
Counters are generally open for a condensed design, helping clarity in sample text, while the strong contrast makes thin horizontals and diagonals feel delicate at smaller sizes. Numerals appear lining and similarly condensed, matching the uppercase’s vertical emphasis and maintaining a consistent texture across mixed content.
