A slender, high-contrast sans with narrow proportions and a distinctly constructed, geometric skeleton. Strokes shift from hairline-thin joins to darker verticals, with squared-off curves and subtly rounded outer corners that keep counters clean and rectilinear. Terminals tend to be flat and slightly flared in places, giving the forms a tailored, drawn-with-a-pen crispness rather than pure monoline geometry. Uppercase shapes are tall and disciplined, while the lowercase keeps compact bowls and simple, open apertures for a consistent, vertical rhythm.
This font is best suited to display sizes where its contrast and narrow, architectural forms can be appreciated—such as headlines, magazine and book titling, poster work, brand marks, and premium packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or UI/wayfinding accents where a refined, designed voice is desired, but its thin strokes suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-contrast reproduction.
The overall tone is sleek and sophisticated, with a quiet Art Deco and modernist flavor. It reads as elegant and slightly dramatic due to the sharp contrast and narrow stance, conveying precision, fashion, and curated taste rather than friendliness or informality.
The design appears intended to merge a contemporary sans framework with Art Deco-inspired construction and calligraphic contrast, creating a distinctive display face that feels both modern and vintage-leaning. Its narrow proportions and crisp terminals emphasize elegance and space efficiency for titling and identity applications.
Distinctive features include a rectangular, rounded-corner "O"-like construction across several rounded glyphs, a notably angular "W" and "V", and a compact single-storey "a" that reinforces the constructed, display-leaning character. The numerals follow the same squared, high-contrast logic, lending a consistent, stylized set for headings and branding.
