A high-contrast display face with strong vertical stems and very thin hairline connections, producing a crisp, polished rhythm. Curves are smooth and taut, with a pronounced vertical stress and narrow internal apertures that keep the overall color dark despite the fine thins. Terminals tend toward sharp, tapered finishes rather than soft rounding, and joins are clean with minimal bracketing. Proportions lean condensed and tall, with a disciplined baseline and consistent stroke modulation across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for large-scale typography such as magazine headlines, lookbooks, posters, and brand wordmarks where its contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads, pull quotes, and titling, especially in high-quality print or high-resolution digital contexts.
The tone is poised and luxe, evoking contemporary fashion and classic magazine typography. Its sharp contrast and slender hairlines create a sense of sophistication and formality, with a slightly dramatic, high-style presence in headlines.
Likely designed as a high-contrast, style-forward typeface that delivers a premium, editorial voice while maintaining a controlled, modern structure. The goal appears to be striking headline presence through sharp modulation, tall proportions, and clean, fashion-oriented refinement.
In text settings the hairlines and tight apertures create a bright/dark sparkle that reads best at larger sizes. The numerals match the letterforms’ contrast and vertical emphasis, helping maintain a cohesive look in dates and price points.
