A condensed, vertically oriented display sans with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, mostly flat terminals. The letterforms are tall and compact, with narrow counters and a tight rhythm that reads strongly in stacked or headline settings. Curves are controlled and slightly squared in places, while joins and diagonals stay sharp, giving the face a clean, sculpted silhouette. Numerals and caps maintain the same compressed stance, with a consistent, graphic contrast that amplifies stroke transitions.
Best suited to headlines, covers, posters, and brand lockups where a compact footprint and strong contrast can deliver impact. It can work well for fashion/editorial layouts, packaging, and promotional graphics that need a refined but forceful voice. For longer passages, it’s most effective when used sparingly—paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The overall tone is assertive and editorial, mixing modern minimalism with a dramatic, high-impact presence. It evokes fashion and magazine typography—polished and refined, but intentionally attention-grabbing. The condensed proportions add a sense of urgency and sophistication, making the texture feel sleek rather than casual.
The design intent appears focused on creating a tall, space-efficient display sans that feels modern and premium while delivering strong visual drama through contrast. Its condensed structure and crisp terminals suggest a hierarchy-building tool for editorial and branding systems that need bold presence without wide set widths.
In running sample text, the strong modulation and tight widths create a dense color on the page, which can feel striking at larger sizes and in short bursts. Some shapes (notably in rounded letters and diagonals) emphasize a vertical stress and sharp tapering, reinforcing a tailored, poster-like character. Spacing appears designed to keep words compact and punchy, supporting strong typographic hierarchy.
