A condensed, high-contrast sans with a distinctly vertical stance and streamlined geometry. Stems run tall and straight with hairline cross-strokes and terminals, creating a crisp rhythm and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves are narrow and taut, with rounded bowls kept compact and countershapes cleanly drawn for clarity at display sizes. The overall texture is airy and refined, with tight apertures and consistent spacing that emphasizes height and cadence.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, poster titles, and brand wordmarks where its tall proportions and contrast can carry the page. It also works well for packaging, fashion/editorial layouts, and signage that benefits from a sleek, upscale voice. For long passages, it will be more effective in larger sizes or with generous leading to preserve its light strokes and open rhythm.
The tone is sophisticated and design-forward, mixing modern minimalism with a subtle Art Deco flavor. Its slender silhouettes and dramatic contrast feel fashion-oriented and editorial, suggesting luxury, nightlife, and curated cultural settings rather than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended as a display-facing condensed sans that delivers elegance through high contrast and vertical proportions. It prioritizes striking silhouette, refined pacing, and a contemporary–deco sensibility for branding and editorial typography.
Several forms lean into stylization—especially in the diagonals and curved joins—adding personality without introducing decorative serifs. Numerals and capitals echo the same tall, narrow proportions, helping headings and short lines read as cohesive, architectural blocks.
