A tall, tightly set sans with strongly vertical proportions and a compact footprint. Strokes are clean and mostly monolinear with subtle modulation, producing a crisp texture at display sizes. Curves are drawn with rounded-rectangle logic—counters feel softly squared rather than purely circular—while joins and terminals stay restrained and unadorned. Spacing is economical and the narrow rhythm is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a disciplined, column-like color on the line.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and magazine-style layouts where narrow type helps fit more characters per line while staying sharp and readable. It also works well for branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from a sleek, space-efficient wordmark-like presence.
The overall tone is modern and editorial, with a cool, controlled sophistication. Its condensed stature and crisp forms convey efficiency and focus, leaning more fashion, culture, and contemporary branding than friendly or casual communication.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary condensed sans aesthetic with softened, superelliptical round forms for a refined, fashion-forward look. Its controlled contrast and tight proportions prioritize a strong vertical rhythm and high-impact display typography.
The design’s narrow width amplifies vertical momentum, especially in stacked lines where it produces a strong typographic voice without heavy weight. Numerals match the same condensed, upright logic, keeping a cohesive texture across mixed text and figures.
