A high-contrast, upright sans with tall proportions and a pronounced vertical emphasis. Thick stems pair with hairline joins and cross-strokes, creating sharp, clean edges and a crisp black–white rhythm. Many forms feel slightly condensed in the capitals, while the lowercase mixes compact, sturdy bowls with narrow entry/exit strokes; ascenders are tall and some terminals square off with minimal rounding. The overall texture alternates between dense vertical blocks and delicate connecting lines, giving the font a distinctive, display-oriented cadence.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, poster typography, and magazine or fashion layouts where contrast and vertical rhythm can be used at larger sizes. It can also work for branding marks and packaging that benefit from a sleek, dramatic voice, while extended body text may require generous sizing and spacing to preserve the fine strokes.
The tone is bold and editorial, combining modern minimalism with a hint of vintage poster drama. Its stark contrast and narrow, towering shapes communicate confidence and urgency, reading as stylish and high-impact rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast display sans that feels refined and impactful. By pairing sturdy verticals with hairline connectors, it aims to provide strong typographic presence with a polished, editorial finish.
In text settings the strong verticals create an even, columnar color, while the hairline diagonals and joins add sparkle and sharpness. Numerals and capitals appear especially commanding, with simple geometry and emphatic weight distribution.
