A tall, condensed display sans with pronounced high-contrast stroke behavior: many stems are heavy and vertical, while curves and joins taper into very thin hairlines. Counters are tight and elongated, and terminals are typically straight-cut, giving the shapes a crisp, graphic finish. Several letters show stylized, slightly pinched curves and pointed inner joins (notably in diagonals and bowls), creating a lively rhythm and a subtly “woven” texture in words. Numerals follow the same logic, mixing sturdy verticals with delicate curves for a dramatic light–dark pattern.
Best suited for headlines, deck copy, posters, and short statements where its contrast and narrow stance can create impact. It also works well for fashion, beauty, nightlife, or luxury-adjacent branding and packaging, especially when paired with a quieter text face for body copy.
The overall tone is sophisticated and dramatic, with a fashion-editorial kind of polish. Its sharp contrast and narrow proportions add a sense of intensity and precision, leaning toward a glamorous, slightly theatrical voice rather than a neutral utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, space-saving display voice that feels contemporary yet reminiscent of classic high-contrast lettering. Its mix of strong verticals and delicate hairlines prioritizes visual drama and elegance over neutral readability in long passages.
At text sizes the very thin hairlines can visually recede, so the face reads best when given enough size and contrast to let its details remain present. The narrow set and tight interior space create a compact word silhouette with strong vertical emphasis.
