A tall, tightly set condensed sans with pronounced vertical emphasis and crisp, flat terminals. Strokes show strong contrast: dominant vertical stems paired with very thin crossbars and diagonals, giving a refined, high-strung rhythm. Curved letters lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry, with smooth, controlled bowls and narrow apertures that keep the overall texture sleek and columnar. The lowercase maintains a clean, simple construction with minimal modulation beyond the contrast, and the numerals follow the same elongated, streamlined proportions.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed proportions and sharp contrast can project a stylish, space-saving presence—headlines, magazine and book covers, posters, branding systems, and premium packaging. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when set with generous tracking and adequate size to preserve the fine strokes.
The overall tone is elegant and urbane, with an Art Deco–leaning sleekness that reads as fashionable and slightly theatrical. Its narrow, high-contrast build conveys luxury and precision, suggesting boutique, gallery, and editorial sensibilities rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated condensed voice with Deco-inspired geometry and a striking light–dark rhythm, optimizing for elegant impact in large sizes while maintaining a clean sans structure.
The typeface creates a strong vertical cadence in text, with airy horizontals that can appear delicate at smaller sizes. Round letters (like O/C) retain a controlled, superellipse-like feel, while diagonals (V/W/X) become especially hairline, heightening the dramatic contrast.
