A condensed display sans with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strongly vertical, columnar build. Strokes alternate between hefty stems and hairline joins, creating sharp internal rhythm and a crisp, cut-in feel at terminals. Counters are tall and narrow, bowls are compact, and curves are tightly controlled, giving the alphabet a sculpted, poster-ready presence. The lowercase follows the same condensed proportions with compact apertures and a tidy, consistent construction across letters and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, magazine mastheads, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, and brand wordmarks where its contrast and condensed proportions can command space. It also works well for packaging and campaign typography when set large with generous tracking and ample whitespace.
The overall tone is sleek and assertive, leaning toward high-fashion editorial typography and cinematic titling. Its dramatic contrast and compressed width create a sense of tension and refinement, reading as contemporary, premium, and attention-grabbing rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display face that combines condensed modern proportions with theatrical contrast for maximum presence. It prioritizes silhouette, rhythm, and vertical elegance to deliver strong typographic hierarchy in short runs of text.
Hairline connections and thin cross-elements become prominent design accents, especially in letters like E/F and diagonals such as K/X, which can produce striking sparkle at large sizes. Numerals echo the tall, narrow silhouette with strong vertical emphasis, reinforcing a cohesive display system.
