A tightly condensed display face with extreme vertical proportions and pronounced contrast between thick stems and hairline joins. Curves are smooth and controlled, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) counters that read as engineered rather than calligraphic. Terminals are mostly crisp and unbracketed, and several letters use fine, needle-like diagonals and joins (notably in K, V, W, and X), creating a sharp rhythm against the bold verticals. The overall texture is dark and columnar in caps, with compact, tall lowercase forms that keep a consistent, narrow footprint.
Best suited for headlines, decks, and short bursts of text where its narrow width and contrast can create striking hierarchy. It performs well in editorial design, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and packaging where a tall, sophisticated voice is desired.
The tone is sleek and high-impact, projecting a refined, fashion-forward attitude with a hint of theatrical drama. Its tall, glossy silhouettes and hairline details feel contemporary and premium, suited to statements rather than quiet reading.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, combining a modern geometric skeleton with high-contrast detailing to create a polished, upscale display texture. Its controlled curves and crisp terminals suggest an intention to feel both contemporary and refined, with a distinctive vertical elegance.
Large sizes emphasize the hairline strokes and tight apertures, which become key stylistic features rather than purely functional details. Numerals follow the same condensed, high-contrast logic, keeping a cohesive, poster-like color and a strong vertical cadence across mixed text.
