A condensed, high-contrast display sans with a strongly vertical stance and tightly controlled widths. Strokes alternate between hairline-thin joins and heavy, rectangular stems, creating a crisp, poster-like rhythm. Curves are smooth but pinched at transitions, with small apertures and tapered terminals that keep counters narrow and tall. Numerals and caps feel engineered and compact, with consistent alignment and an overall sculpted, columnar texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, decks, and short bursts of text where contrast and compression add urgency and style. It works well for magazine mastheads, fashion or nightlife branding, posters, and packaging that benefits from a tall, elegant silhouette. For body copy, it will be most effective at larger sizes with comfortable tracking to avoid crowding.
The font projects a dramatic, fashion-forward tone with a hint of vintage signage. Its intense contrast and condensed proportions feel confident and attention-seeking, reading as premium and editorial rather than neutral. The overall color is assertive and slightly theatrical, suited to bold statements and high-impact headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while keeping an elegant, high-contrast finish. Its narrow, vertical architecture and crisp joins suggest a display face built for titling, where dramatic stroke modulation and a sleek rhythm become the primary visual signature.
In longer lines the type forms strong vertical striping, especially in sequences of straight-sided letters, which can amplify impact but also increases visual density at smaller sizes. Round letters maintain a narrow oval footprint, and the mix of thick stems and fine connectors gives punctuation and diacritics a delicate, refined presence.
