A tall, condensed sans with slender vertical stems and subtle stroke modulation that becomes most apparent in curves and joins. The letterforms are built from clean, straight-sided geometry with softly rounded bowls and open counters, producing an even, airy color in text. Terminals are crisp and largely unadorned, with a disciplined rhythm and generous internal whitespace. Numerals follow the same narrow, vertical emphasis, keeping alignment and spacing consistent with the alphabet.
Well-suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and compact editorial layouts where a narrow footprint is useful. It can also work for brand wordmarks and packaging that want a refined, contemporary presence, and for posters or signage that benefit from tall, space-saving letterforms.
The overall tone is poised and editorial, balancing minimalism with a touch of sophistication from its controlled contrast. It reads calm and modern, with a fashion-forward restraint that feels intentional rather than utilitarian.
The design appears aimed at providing an elegant condensed sans for display-driven typography, combining a streamlined skeleton with restrained contrast to add polish without sacrificing simplicity.
Its condensed proportions create a strong vertical cadence, helping long lines stay compact while maintaining clarity. Curved letters and diagonals remain smooth and steady, avoiding decorative quirks in favor of a clean, consistent voice.
