A tall, narrow-leaning display sans with pronounced stroke contrast: robust vertical stems paired with extremely thin horizontals and hairline joins. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than true circularity. Terminals are crisp and mostly unbracketed, with occasional hairline crossbars and delicate inner joins that create a precise, engineered rhythm. The lowercase is compact with straight-sided forms and smooth, controlled curves; figures echo the same superelliptical construction and contrast, with thin top strokes and heavier verticals.
Best suited to headlines, deck type, magazine layouts, and brand wordmarks where its contrast and tall proportions can be appreciated. It also works well for posters and premium packaging where a sleek, upscale voice is desired. For longer passages, it benefits from generous size, leading, and print/digital conditions that preserve hairline details.
The overall tone is polished and fashion-forward, combining modern minimalism with a hint of high-end editorial sophistication. Its sharp contrast and tall proportions feel poised and luxurious, while the softened rectangular curves keep it contemporary and slightly architectural rather than classical.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary, editorial display voice built on superelliptical shapes and dramatic contrast. Its intention is to balance luxury and precision—clean sans construction with fashion-style refinement—while maintaining a consistent, engineered geometry across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Spacing appears fairly open for such condensed shapes, helping the thin horizontals stay visible in text. Several glyphs show distinctive hairline cross strokes and narrow apertures, which heighten the graphic character but can make small sizes feel fragile. The design reads best when given room and adequate rendering quality so the finest strokes don’t disappear.
