This typeface features tall, condensed proportions with pronounced stroke contrast: thick verticals pair with hairline joins and terminals. Curves are taut and clean, giving round letters like C, O, and Q a polished, controlled feel, while diagonal forms (A, V, W, X) stay sharp and narrowly set. The lowercase shows a classic rhythm with a two-storey a and g, compact bowls, and slender connecting strokes; counters are relatively tight, reinforcing the vertical emphasis. Overall spacing reads measured and consistent, with a refined, print-like finish that privileges crisp silhouettes over softness.
Best suited to headlines, magazine-style layouts, and other display settings where its condensed width and contrast can create hierarchy and elegance. It also works well for refined branding elements such as wordmarks, covers, and campaign typography where a luxurious, high-impact tone is desired.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a fashionable, editorial sensibility. High contrast and narrow stance create a sense of drama and formality, lending the text a sophisticated, curated voice rather than a casual one.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a classic, contrast-led letterform—maximizing verticality and elegance while maintaining a clean, contemporary presentation.
In the sample text, the strong thick–thin pattern remains clear at larger sizes, where hairlines and fine joins become a defining character. Numerals appear similarly condensed and contrasty, integrating smoothly with the uppercase for display-driven compositions.
