A condensed slab serif with very slender, nearly monoline strokes and crisp, unbracketed rectangular serifs. The forms are tall and economical, with generous interior space and open apertures that keep counters clear despite the narrow set. Curves are drawn with a controlled, almost geometric smoothness, while terminals and joins stay clean and square, producing a consistent, measured rhythm across the alphabet. Numerals follow the same tall proportions, and the overall texture reads airy and precise rather than dense.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and display typography where its condensed proportions and crisp slabs can shine. It works well in fashion or culture editorials, posters, and brand systems that want a refined, modern-vintage voice, especially when given ample tracking and whitespace.
The style conveys a restrained, sophisticated tone—cool, composed, and slightly retro in an editorial way. Its thin, sharp detailing suggests elegance and precision, lending a curated, design-forward feel without becoming ornamental.
The design appears aimed at delivering a sleek condensed slab for contemporary display use, balancing sharp, square serifs with simplified stroke modulation to create a clean, upscale look.
In text, the narrow width and light color create a distinctive vertical cadence that suits spacious layouts. The slab serifs add structure and a subtle engineered character, helping headings feel anchored even at a delicate weight.
