This typeface is an extremely condensed, high-contrast design built around tall vertical stems and hairline horizontals. The rhythm is strongly vertical, with narrow bowls and compact sidebearings that create a tight, column-like texture in words. Curves are crisp and controlled, with small, sharp terminals and minimal ornamentation; joins and transitions feel clean rather than calligraphic. The lowercase shows slender, elongated proportions with compact counters, while figures follow the same vertical emphasis for a uniform, editorial look.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, cover lines, posters, and high-impact branding. It can also work for wordmarks and short editorial pull quotes where its condensed proportions help fit long phrases into limited horizontal space.
The overall tone is sleek and fashion-forward, projecting a refined, dramatic elegance. Its compressed silhouette and stark contrast create a sense of luxury and intensity, lending a poised, contemporary attitude to headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum elegance and impact within a narrow footprint, combining a modern, pared-back construction with dramatic contrast. It prioritizes striking silhouette and vertical rhythm for display use rather than extended small-size reading.
At text sizes, the thin hairlines and tight spacing can visually soften or disappear, while the heavy verticals remain prominent, increasing the perceived contrast. The design’s narrow counters and condensed structure favor short settings where its distinctive verticality can be appreciated.
