A condensed display face with tall proportions and a crisp, high-contrast stroke system. Curves are tightly controlled and read as rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, while joins and diagonals snap to sharp, decisive points. Many strokes finish with subtle flares or wedge-like terminals, giving the letterforms a carved, poster-style bite despite the overall clean construction. The rhythm is vertical and compact, with narrow counters and prominent thick stems that keep the texture dark and tightly packed in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, magazine mastheads, posters, and brand marks where its condensed width and punchy contrast can create a strong silhouette. It can also work for packaging or cover lines when set with generous tracking and comfortable leading to prevent the dense texture from feeling cramped.
The overall tone is dramatic and editorial—stylish, confident, and a little theatrical. Its sharp joins and flared endings add a sense of luxury and intensity that feels at home in fashion or cultural contexts rather than neutral UI typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, attention-grabbing typographic voice that combines clean geometry with pointed, flared details. It prioritizes silhouette and contrast for display use, aiming for an upscale, editorial presence in limited horizontal space.
Uppercase forms emphasize height and symmetry, while lowercase retains the same condensed tempo with pronounced verticality and small, tight apertures. Numerals match the condensed stance and contrast, maintaining a consistent, display-forward color across mixed text.
