A condensed, high-contrast sans with razor-thin hairlines and abrupt transitions into heavy vertical stems. The overall build is tall and columnar, with compact counters and a strong vertical stress that creates a striped rhythm in text. Terminals are clean and generally unbracketed, with occasional tapered or slightly flared finishes that add a hint of calligraphic tension without turning into true serifs. Curves are smooth and controlled, while diagonals (notably in V/W/X) read sharply against the dominant vertical structure, giving the design a crisp, modern silhouette.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion or culture layouts, posters, and brand wordmarks where its condensed form and stark contrast can read cleanly. It can also work for short subheads, pull quotes, and packaging fronts, especially when set with generous tracking and ample size.
The font conveys an editorial, fashion-forward tone—polished and sophisticated with a deliberate sense of drama. Its extreme light–dark interplay feels luxe and high-end, suited to statements where contrast and presence matter more than neutrality.
The design appears aimed at delivering a sleek, contemporary display sans that borrows the dramatic stroke contrast of Didone-inspired forms while keeping the overall structure largely sans and streamlined. Its narrow, tall proportions and crisp terminals suggest an intention to create high-impact typography for editorial and branding contexts.
Spacing and proportions emphasize a tight, vertical cadence; repeated stems (as in H, M, N, and in lowercase like m/n) create strong texture at display sizes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender joins and prominent verticals that keep them visually consistent with the alphabet.
