A condensed, high-contrast sans with tall proportions and a disciplined, vertical rhythm. Strokes alternate between sturdy stems and hairline connections, producing a crisp, editorial texture without added ornament. Curves are smooth and slightly squarish in places, with compact bowls and generally open apertures; counters stay clear even at smaller sizes. Terminals are clean and mostly unbracketed, with subtle tapering where thin strokes meet heavier verticals, and the overall spacing reads measured and even in continuous text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and editorial layouts where a condensed footprint and high contrast can add style without sacrificing clarity. It also works well for fashion and luxury branding, packaging, and poster titling where a refined, contemporary voice is desired.
The font conveys a polished, contemporary elegance—cool, controlled, and fashion-forward. Its contrast and narrow stance add a sense of sophistication and authority, making it feel more curated than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, space-efficient sans with pronounced contrast for a premium, editorial feel. It balances display sharpness with enough openness and regularity to remain practical for short-to-medium text use.
Uppercase forms feel especially tall and stately, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, readable build with minimal eccentricity. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, giving figures a sleek, display-friendly presence while still remaining legible in text settings.
