A condensed, high-contrast sans with a distinctive split-stroke construction: many letters pair ultra-thin hairlines with bold, rounded terminals or bottom-heavy bowls. Curves are smooth and geometric, while straight stems are often reduced to single-line verticals, creating a poster-like rhythm with lots of white space inside forms. Counters tend to be compact and ovoid, and several joins read as deliberate cut-ins or bands, giving parts of the alphabet a stencil-like, segmented feel. Numerals and capitals keep the same narrow footprint and dramatic thick–thin transitions, reinforcing a tightly packed, vertical silhouette.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, magazine or fashion titles, packaging, and distinctive logotypes where its contrast and narrow width can create impact without taking much horizontal space. It can also work for short callouts or pull quotes, but is less appropriate for long paragraphs or small UI text.
The font reads as glamorous and performative, balancing elegance with a slightly mischievous, experimental edge. Its dramatic contrast and condensed stance evoke vintage display typography—part Art Deco, part fashion editorial—making text feel curated and stylized rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-impact display voice by exaggerating contrast and simplifying stems into hairlines, while using bold terminals and segmented details to add character. The overall aim feels like a modern reinterpretation of Deco-era elegance optimized for striking, space-efficient typography.
Because many glyphs rely on hairline strokes and partial forms, legibility can drop quickly at small sizes or on low-resolution output. The strongest impression comes from the consistent vertical emphasis and recurring heavy terminals that act like visual anchors across words.
