A tall, condensed typeface with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and hairline horizontals and diagonals. The construction favors straight-sided, tightly curved bowls that read as rounded-rectangle forms, with crisp terminals and minimal modulation in the heavy strokes. Counters are compact and vertically oriented, giving the letters a stacked, architectural rhythm; rounds like O/Q and numerals show narrow, upright ovals with sharp joins. The lowercase is similarly slender, with short crossbars and fine joins, and the overall texture alternates bold columns of black with delicate hairlines.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, magazine covers, posters, and brand marks where the narrow width and contrast can create strong vertical presence. It can also work for short bursts of text—pull quotes, labels, and packaging copy—where a refined, high-fashion voice is desired and sizes are generous enough for the hairlines to remain clear.
The font projects a poised, editorial tone—sleek, assertive, and slightly dramatic. Its high-contrast narrow silhouette suggests fashion and cultural publishing, balancing modern refinement with a formal, attention-grabbing presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-contrast look with clean, contemporary construction and superelliptic rounding, maximizing impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining an upscale, editorial character.
The dense proportions create a dark overall color in text, while the hairlines add sparkle at larger sizes. Some glyphs use very thin internal strokes and joins, which emphasize sharpness and sophistication over softness.
