A tall, condensed slab-serif with an extremely light, nearly monoline stroke and a clean, linear construction. Serifs read as small, squared terminals that join the stems with minimal or no bracketing, keeping the texture crisp and architectural. Counters are narrow and vertical, curves are restrained, and joins stay sharp, producing a high, even rhythm. The overall spacing and proportions emphasize height and regularity, with a slender text color that stays consistent across letters and numerals.
Best suited to display typography where its tall proportions and delicate strokes can be appreciated: magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, titles, pull quotes, and refined packaging. It also works well for concise UI or signage moments when a sophisticated, space-saving condensed voice is desired, provided sizes and contrast are sufficient.
The face conveys a quiet, composed sophistication—more gallery placard than loud headline. Its narrow, delicate presence feels fashion-forward and editorial, with a slightly formal, modern classic tone. The disciplined geometry and crisp terminals add a cool, precise character.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed slab-serif voice with maximum elegance and minimal stroke weight, prioritizing verticality, clarity of structure, and a polished editorial texture. Its consistent linearity and crisp, squared terminals suggest a focus on modern refinement rather than warmth or calligraphic softness.
Uppercase forms appear especially stately due to their height and thin horizontals, while the lowercase maintains a similarly taut, vertical profile. Numerals follow the same slim, linear logic, keeping the set visually coherent. At very small sizes the extremely fine strokes may read fragile, but at display sizes the structure becomes striking and airy.
