A condensed, lightly built sans with tall proportions and generous vertical rhythm. Strokes are clean and smooth with subtle modulation, and terminals tend to finish with gentle curves rather than abrupt cuts. Counters are relatively open for the width, with rounded forms that stay narrow and tall; the lowercase shows high ascenders and long, graceful descenders that add a calligraphic lift without becoming decorative. Numerals follow the same slender, elongated logic, keeping a consistent, even texture in running text.
Well suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and book-jacket titling where a refined, condensed voice is useful. It can work for packaging or brand wordmarks that benefit from height and elegance, and for UI or print situations that need a compact measure while maintaining a polished look.
The overall tone is poised and literary, leaning toward an editorial elegance rather than a utilitarian voice. Its slim silhouettes and soft terminals give it a quiet sophistication that feels modern-classic and slightly formal, while remaining approachable in text.
The design appears intended to provide an elegant, space-saving sans with a text-friendly rhythm. By combining narrow, tall proportions with soft terminals and open counters, it aims to feel refined and readable while delivering a distinctive vertical presence.
In paragraph settings the type creates a strong vertical cadence, with ascenders and capitals forming clear columns and ample internal whitespace. The narrow width and elongated shapes can feel delicate at small sizes, but they create a distinctive, stylish color for headlines and compact copy where horizontal space is limited.
