A sharply condensed typeface with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strongly vertical stance. Curves are drawn with taut tension and narrow bowls, while straight stems read as firm, glossy columns; terminals tend to finish cleanly with minimal flare. Counters are relatively small and apertures are tight, creating an elegant, high-pressure texture in lines of text. Lowercase forms keep a straightforward structure with a two-storey a, compact e, and a tall, slender t, contributing to a consistent, streamlined rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed elegance and contrast can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and premium packaging. It can also work for short subheads and captions when ample leading and careful tracking are used to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is polished and high-fashion, mixing sophistication with a touch of theatrical contrast. Its narrow proportions and crisp modulation project confidence and formality, giving copy an editorial, headline-forward presence rather than a casual voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, luxe display voice by combining condensed proportions with assertive contrast and restrained detailing. It prioritizes striking vertical rhythm and refined silhouette for attention-grabbing editorial typography.
In continuous text the spacing and condensed silhouette create a vertical cadence, with standout tall forms (notably in capitals and ascenders) that emphasize a statuesque profile. Numerals match the same narrow, contrasting construction, helping figures integrate seamlessly into typographic layouts.
