A tall, condensed sans with a delicate, even stroke and softened, superelliptical curves. Round letters are drawn as narrow vertical ovals with rounded-rectangle geometry, while horizontals are short and restrained, creating a strong vertical rhythm. Terminals are clean and gently rounded, with consistent join behavior and a generally monoline feel that reads crisp at display sizes. The lowercase maintains clear, simple construction; bowls stay narrow, ascenders are prominent, and counters remain open despite the compressed width.
Best suited to display roles where its tall, condensed silhouette can create impact without heaviness—headlines, posters, mastheads, and branding. It can also work for packaging and editorial pull quotes where a refined, space-efficient narrow face is desirable, particularly when set with a bit of extra tracking.
The overall tone feels elegant and composed, with a subtle vintage-art-deco flavor driven by its tall proportions and softened geometry. Its lightness and narrowness give it an airy, fashion-forward presence that suggests modern minimalism as much as classic poster typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a slim, elegant sans with rounded-rectangle construction, balancing a contemporary minimal finish with a nod to classic condensed display lettering. Its consistent stroke and tightly controlled proportions emphasize rhythm, clarity, and a distinctive vertical presence.
The compressed widths make spacing and texture especially vertical, so the type forms a tight columnar color on the page. Numerals follow the same narrow, rounded logic, helping maintain a consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
