A condensed, high-contrast sans with a strongly vertical stance and sharp, clean terminals. Strokes switch between substantial stems and hairline connectors, creating a crisp rhythm and a pronounced light–dark pattern in text. Curves are smooth and controlled, with rounded, superellipse-like bowls on letters such as O/C/e, while joins stay tight and precise. The overall geometry is tall and columnar, with narrow counters and compact spacing that emphasizes a sleek, elongated silhouette across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for display contexts such as magazine headlines, fashion and culture layouts, poster typography, and high-end branding where its narrow footprint and striking contrast can be used for dramatic hierarchy. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when ample size and careful spacing preserve the fine strokes.
The font conveys a polished, editorial tone—sleek, stylish, and slightly theatrical due to its extreme contrast and compressed proportions. It reads as contemporary and refined, with a fashion-forward sharpness that feels premium and display-oriented rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary condensed display sans that borrows the drama of high-contrast construction while keeping a clean, serifless finish. Its goal is impact and elegance in tight horizontal spaces, offering a refined, modern editorial voice.
In the samples, the contrast and condensed width create strong texture at larger sizes, while the thinnest horizontals and diagonals become delicate details. Numerals and punctuation follow the same vertical, high-contrast logic, reinforcing a consistent, disciplined voice across mixed settings.
