A tall, condensed display sans with subtly modulated strokes and a smooth, calligraphic tension. Curves are clean and slightly tapered, while terminals stay crisp and mostly unadorned, giving the letters a sleek, vertical emphasis. Counters are narrow and elongated, and round forms (like O, C, G) read as slim ovals that reinforce the font’s columnar rhythm. Lowercase mixes slender ascenders with compact bowls, and numerals follow the same narrow, elongated proportions for a consistent, upright texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and short blocks where its condensed proportions can add drama and save space. It fits fashion and lifestyle editorial, premium packaging, and brand marks that want a tall, elegant wordshape. For longer reading, it works more comfortably at larger sizes and with generous leading to preserve clarity.
The overall tone feels polished and stylish, with a boutique, editorial sensibility. Its narrow silhouette and gentle contrast create a poised, slightly theatrical voice that suggests sophistication without becoming ornate. The rhythm is lean and composed, evoking vintage title lettering and modern fashion branding at the same time.
The design appears intended to deliver a chic, space-efficient display voice: narrow proportions for strong vertical presence, paired with measured stroke modulation to add sophistication and a hint of vintage glamour. It aims for a refined look that remains clean and contemporary rather than decorative.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and vertical, producing a strong skyline of ascenders and caps. The design relies on proportion and stroke modulation rather than decorative details, so it stays clean while still feeling distinctive in large sizes. The sample text shows a continuous, elegant flow, with punctuation and numerals matching the same slender, refined character.
