A very tall, condensed sans with a gently calligraphic edge: stems are slim and straight, while many terminals end in small angled wedges or soft flicks that add rhythm without becoming overt serifs. Curves are narrow and controlled, with rounded-rectangular bowls and open apertures that keep forms readable at tight widths. Uppercase has a high, graceful presence with long verticals (notably in B, D, H, M, N), while lowercase stays compact with crisp joins and occasional tapering at entry/exit points. Numerals follow the same narrow, vertical emphasis, giving the set a consistent, columnar texture.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and short editorial passages where its tall condensed rhythm can create a strong vertical silhouette. It can also work well for branding, packaging, and cultural posters that want a clean look with a touch of expressive sharpness; for longer body text it will likely be most comfortable at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels poised and fashion-forward—clean and modern at a glance, but with subtle vintage display energy coming from the sharpened terminals and elongated proportions. It reads as sophisticated and slightly dramatic rather than utilitarian.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum elegance and presence in narrow horizontal space, combining clean sans construction with discreet calligraphic terminal accents to add character and differentiation.
Spacing and sidebearings appear tuned for vertical economy, producing an even, striped color in words. The angled terminal treatment shows up repeatedly (on letters like a, e, r, t, y, and several capitals), functioning as a signature detail that distinguishes it from purely geometric condensed sans styles.
