A condensed, high-contrast sans with a strongly vertical posture and a clean, linear rhythm. Strokes alternate between very thin hairlines and heavier stems, giving letters like E, F, T, and H a sharp, architectural presence while bowls and curves stay smooth and controlled. Terminals are mostly straight and unembellished, with occasional soft rounding on curves; counters are generally open and uncluttered, keeping the narrow forms readable. Numerals follow the same tall, condensed logic with simplified shapes and clear contrast, pairing well with the uppercase.
Best suited for display settings where its condensed proportions and contrast can create a striking vertical rhythm—headlines, cover lines, posters, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for short blocks of text in editorial layouts when generous spacing and size are used to preserve clarity.
The overall tone feels modern and editorial—sleek, stylish, and slightly dramatic due to the pronounced contrast. It suggests a refined, fashion-adjacent sensibility while remaining neutral enough for contemporary branding and layout work.
The font appears designed to deliver a sophisticated, space-efficient voice: tall, condensed letterforms with a crisp contrast pattern that reads as contemporary and refined. It prioritizes a strong headline texture and elegant silhouettes while keeping construction clean and sans-like.
The design relies on height and contrast rather than width for emphasis, so it creates strong vertical texture in paragraphs and impactful silhouettes in headlines. Mixed-case text shows a consistent narrow cadence, with lowercase forms staying relatively straightforward and legible rather than overly stylized.
