A highly stylized display sans with extreme thick–thin modulation, pairing dense vertical stems with razor-thin hairlines and needle-like entry/exit strokes. Proportions skew tall and compact, with narrow counters and a tight, vertical rhythm; several letters feature elongated, filament-thin descenders or spikes that extend well beyond typical bounds. Curves are crisp and controlled, often resolving into tapered points rather than rounded terminals, and the overall texture alternates between heavy black blocks and fine linear threads.
Best used at medium to large sizes where the hairlines and long, thin strokes can be preserved. It suits magazine and fashion editorial typography, theatrical or music posters, boutique packaging, and distinctive wordmarks where a dramatic, high-contrast voice is desired.
The tone is fashion-forward and slightly surreal—elegant but intentionally odd, with a stagey, poster-like punch. Its sharp hairlines and sudden weight drops create a dramatic, high-style feel suited to attention-grabbing headlines rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to push a condensed display sans into expressive territory by exaggerating contrast and extending hairline strokes to create tension between solid mass and delicate linework. The result prioritizes character and visual impact over even color and continuous readability.
Uppercase forms read as more structured and monumental, while lowercase introduces more eccentric detailing, including long hairline descenders and asymmetric joins that add a playful, experimental character. Numerals mirror the same contrast strategy, mixing solid verticals with delicate curved hairlines, which enhances the striking but unpredictable rhythm in text.
