A condensed, high-contrast display face with strongly vertical proportions and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes shift quickly from hairline thins to dense stems, creating a sharp rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Curves are smooth but tightly controlled, with oval forms kept narrow and counters relatively compact. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height, while ascenders and descenders feel long and elegant, giving lines a tall silhouette. Numerals follow the same contrast and vertical emphasis, reading cleanly with a slightly stylized, editorial finish.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and logo-style wordmarks where its condensed width can save space while still feeling premium. It also works well for poster typography, fashion and lifestyle layouts, and upscale packaging where high contrast and a vertical stance help establish hierarchy.
The overall tone is sleek and high-fashion, pairing a refined elegance with a slightly dramatic edge. Its tight width and pronounced contrast evoke magazine headlines, luxury branding, and modern editorial typography rather than casual or utilitarian contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary editorial voice: condensed for efficient, impactful setting, and high-contrast for a polished, luxurious presence. Its sculpted forms suggest a focus on display readability and visual drama over neutral, long-form performance.
In text, the strong contrast and condensed spacing create an assertive texture that rewards larger sizes and generous leading. The design’s thin horizontals and fine joins add sophistication but can visually fade at small sizes compared to the dominant verticals.
