A tall, tightly set slab-serif design with a thin, even stroke and pronounced square-ended serifs that read strongly despite the light weight. Curves are narrow and upright, with rounded bowls that transition into straight stems in a clean, controlled way. Many terminals and joins feel mechanically crisp, while subtle bracketing and softened corners keep the forms from looking rigid. The overall rhythm is vertical and columnar, with compact counters and a consistent, steady baseline presence.
Best suited to display settings where a condensed voice is useful—headlines, subheads, posters, and branding systems that need a vertical, space-saving silhouette. It can also work for short editorial callouts or packaging typography where a retro-modern slab presence is desired, but it’s less ideal for long passages at small sizes due to its narrow proportions and strong vertical texture.
The tone mixes classic display elegance with a slightly eccentric, poster-like narrowness. Its strong vertical stance and emphatic slabs evoke vintage editorial headlines and signage, while the light stroke keeps it refined rather than heavy. The result feels poised and stylish, with a hint of idiosyncrasy.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, attention-getting slab-serif look with a refined, lightweight skeleton. It aims for a distinctive display texture—tall, narrow forms and confident slabs—while preserving legibility through simple construction and consistent stroke behavior.
In the sample text, the font maintains a distinctive texture: tall ascenders/descenders and narrow letterforms create a striped, high-frequency pattern across lines. The numerals match the condensed, upright construction, keeping a uniform typographic color across mixed alphanumerics.
