A tall, condensed sans with clean, continuous strokes and gently rounded terminals. Curves are drawn with a soft, superelliptical feel—more rounded-rectangle than circular—giving counters a smooth, controlled geometry. Vertical stems dominate the rhythm, while joins stay crisp and uncluttered; diagonal letters keep a narrow, tensioned stance. Lowercase forms show a high-waisted structure with long ascenders/descenders, and the figures follow the same slim, vertical proportions for a consistent texture in running text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where a refined, space-saving condensed voice is useful. It can also work for branding and packaging that want a sleek, modern tone, and for posters where tall letterforms create a strong vertical rhythm.
The overall tone is poised and contemporary, with a fashion/editorial kind of sophistication. Its narrow, vertical rhythm feels efficient and upscale, reading as calm and deliberate rather than playful or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary condensed sans that feels polished and premium, combining disciplined vertical proportions with softened, rounded geometry to maintain approachability. Its consistent construction across caps, lowercase, and numerals suggests an emphasis on cohesive typographic color in display and editorial settings.
Spacing appears measured and even, supporting a steady text color despite the condensed set. Round letters like O/C/S retain generous interior space for the width, while narrow glyphs (I, J, l) emphasize the typeface’s verticality. Numerals are similarly slim and refined, suitable for settings where numbers need to sit quietly within text.
