A condensed display sans with extremely slender strokes and a calm, even rhythm. Forms are built from tall verticals and rounded-rectangle curves, producing soft corners rather than true geometric circles. Counters are narrow and vertically oriented, with a noticeably small x-height and long ascenders/descenders that emphasize a lofty, columnar silhouette. Terminals are clean and minimally treated, with a mix of straight joins and gentle curves that keeps the texture crisp and controlled across letters and figures.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and short bursts of text where its condensed verticality can create drama without taking much horizontal space. It works well for branding, fashion/beauty packaging, editorial pull quotes, and event materials where a sleek, upscale tone is desired.
The overall tone feels elegant and metropolitan, with an Art Deco–adjacent poise and a contemporary minimalism. Its tall proportions and delicate weight create a sense of luxury and restraint, suitable for designs that want to feel curated and high-end rather than loud or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated condensed voice by combining delicate strokes with rounded-rectangle geometry and tall proportions. It prioritizes a distinctive silhouette and stylish rhythm for display typography, aiming for a clean, contemporary look with subtle Deco influence.
Several glyphs lean into distinctive, stylized constructions (notably the narrow bowls and rounded-rectangle O/Q/0 shapes), which increases personality but can reduce robustness at very small sizes. Numerals follow the same condensed, vertical logic, reading as refined and display-oriented rather than utilitarian.
