A slender, vertically oriented text face with a calm rhythm and ample interior space. Strokes stay fine overall but show clear contrast, with hairline horizontals and more substantial verticals. Curves are smooth and controlled, with rounded, superellipse-like bowls and open counters that keep forms clear at small sizes. Terminals are mostly clean and unembellished, and the overall fit is tight without feeling cramped, giving the alphabet a tidy, columnar texture in paragraphs.
This design suits magazine and editorial settings where a clean, elegant voice is needed for both headlines and supporting text. It also works well in branding, packaging, and cultural communications that benefit from a refined, contemporary texture, especially where space is limited and a taller silhouette helps maintain presence.
The tone is modern and refined, combining a slightly fashion/editorial sensibility with a restrained, utilitarian neatness. Its tall proportions and crisp detailing feel polished and composed, lending a quiet sophistication rather than overt personality.
The letterforms suggest an intention to balance modern clarity with a polished, fashion-leaning elegance: narrow, tall shapes for economy and impact, paired with controlled high-contrast detailing and smooth, rounded construction for a premium finish.
Uppercase characters read especially tall and architectural, while lowercase keeps a straightforward, two-storey structure where expected (notably in a and g) for a text-forward feel. Numerals follow the same sleek logic, with a distinctive, stylized 2 and 3 and a narrow 0 that match the font’s vertical emphasis.
