A condensed display face with sharply modulated strokes and pronounced vertical emphasis. Forms are built from tall, smooth-sided shapes with rounded-rectangle curves, paired with very thin joins and cross-strokes that create a crisp, poster-like contrast. Terminals are clean and mostly unbracketed, counters are compact, and apertures tend to be tight, giving the overall texture a dark, continuous rhythm. Numerals follow the same tall, sculpted logic, with narrow figures and clear, high-contrast internal shapes.
Well suited to headlines, magazine and fashion layouts, film or event posters, and brand marks that need a tall, striking silhouette. It can also work for packaging and short callouts where a refined, high-impact look is desired.
The overall tone is confident and theatrical, with a polished, editorial feel. Its taut proportions and dramatic stroke modulation suggest luxury, high style, and impactful headlines rather than casual text.
The font appears designed to maximize impact in narrow horizontal space while maintaining a refined, high-contrast aesthetic. Its superelliptic rounding and disciplined vertical structure aim for a contemporary, premium display voice that stays crisp and controlled in large sizes.
The design relies on strong verticals and delicate hairlines, so it reads best when given room to breathe; tight tracking can cause the fine strokes to visually disappear at smaller sizes. The uppercase has a commanding presence, while the lowercase maintains the same condensed rhythm and contributes to a distinctly display-oriented voice.
