A tall, condensed sans with subtly flared stroke endings and a gentle, pen-like modulation. Curves are smooth and slightly tapered, with narrow bowls and open apertures that keep forms clear despite the tight set. Capitals read as slender and stately, while the lowercase shows a lively rhythm with narrow stems, compact shoulders, and long, tidy extenders. Numerals follow the same slim proportions, with simple, upright forms and restrained curves.
Best suited to display settings where a tall, narrow texture is desirable—headlines, pull quotes, book and magazine covers, and poster typography. It can also work for branding and packaging that needs an elegant, space-saving wordmark feel, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone feels elegant and literary, suggesting a refined, editorial voice rather than a purely utilitarian one. Its narrow, high-contrast skeleton gives it a poised, slightly dramatic presence that can feel classic yet contemporary.
The design appears intended to provide an elegant condensed voice with a touch of calligraphic modulation—combining a clean sans foundation with subtly expressive stroke behavior for distinctive, high-impact setting.
Round letters like O/Q maintain a vertically oriented oval shape, reinforcing the condensed texture. Punctuation and dots appear crisp and small, contributing to a clean, composed page color at larger sizes.
