A tall, condensed sans with pronounced contrast between hairline connections and thicker vertical strokes. Letterforms are built from clean, straight stems paired with softly tapered curves, producing a crisp, engraved feel without traditional serifs. The rhythm is vertical and airy, with narrow counters and generous sidebearings that keep the texture light. Curves in forms like C, G, O, and S show smooth modulation, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) read sharp and finely pointed; lowercase mixes simple, upright constructions with occasional looped, calligraphic joins (notably in g and y). Numerals follow the same thin–thick logic, with open, delicate shapes in 2 and 3 and a more graphic, vertical emphasis in 1 and 7.
This font is well suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and display typography where its contrast and slender proportions can create a high-end, editorial texture. It can work effectively in branding and packaging for beauty, culture, or boutique products, and in posters or cover treatments that need a refined but attention-grabbing voice.
The overall tone is poised and stylish, leaning toward fashion and editorial sophistication with a touch of stage-like drama. The strong verticality and gleaming hairlines suggest a premium, curated voice—more expressive than neutral—while still staying clean and modern.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern display sans with a fashion-forward silhouette, combining clean geometry with subtle calligraphic modulation. Its narrow stance and dramatic stroke contrast aim to maximize elegance and impact in short-form typography.
The design benefits from larger sizes where the fine hairlines and tight inner spaces can remain clear; at smaller text sizes the contrast and narrow apertures may feel more delicate. The ampersand and a few lowercase forms add a subtle ornamental note, giving headlines a distinctive, slightly calligraphic sparkle without becoming overtly decorative.
