A tall, condensed text face with a strong vertical stance and clean, sharpened terminals. Strokes show controlled contrast, with thicker verticals and comparatively lighter horizontals and joins, producing a crisp rhythm at display and text sizes. Counters are narrow and elongated, and curves (C, O, S) are drawn with smooth, slightly tense ovals that keep the overall texture tight. The lowercase is compact with a straightforward, single-storey a and g, while numerals are similarly narrow and upright, matching the condensed proportions.
Well suited for magazine headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a compact width and refined contrast add hierarchy without taking much horizontal space. It also works for fashion and beauty branding, packaging titling, and poster typography where a sleek, high-waisted silhouette is desirable.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, leaning toward contemporary luxury rather than utilitarian neutrality. Its slim, high-contrast presence reads poised and upscale, with a quiet formality suited to sophisticated layouts.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant condensed voice with a contemporary, editorial finish—balancing clean construction with enough contrast to feel premium and expressive while remaining readable.
Because the letterforms are extremely narrow, the type creates a strong vertical color and can feel dense in long passages if spacing is tight. It performs best when given breathing room (generous tracking/leading) so the thin strokes and narrow counters stay open.
