A tall, condensed display face with extreme stroke modulation: razor-thin hairlines meet dense vertical stems, producing a sharp black‑and‑white rhythm. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with flat, abrupt terminals in many places and occasional tapered, calligraphy-like joins (notably in diagonals and some lowercase forms). Counters are narrow and elongated, and the overall spacing feels compact, emphasizing verticality and a high-end, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, and large-format posters where the fine hairlines can be preserved. It can also work for short pull quotes or title cards, but benefits from generous size and careful reproduction to keep thin strokes from breaking up.
The tone is elegant and theatrical, with a runway/editorial sensibility. Its stark contrast and compressed proportions read as confident and formal, bringing a sense of luxury and heightened drama to short statements.
The font appears designed to deliver a premium, editorial voice by combining condensed proportions with pronounced contrast, maximizing impact while maintaining a refined, high-fashion finish.
The design leans on strong vertical stress and delicate horizontals, so letterforms can appear to shimmer between thick and thin strokes. Numerals and capitals maintain the same high-contrast logic, giving headings a consistent, polished look across mixed-case and figures.
