A tall, condensed sans with pronounced contrast and a strongly vertical rhythm. Strokes alternate between hairline-thin curves and heavier verticals, creating a refined, high-fashion texture in text. Terminals are clean and largely unadorned, with crisp joins and smooth, continuous bowls; counters tend to be narrow and elongated. Lowercase forms are compact with a clear two-storey “a” and a single-storey “g,” and the overall silhouette favors straight, upright stems with gently rounded transitions.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and refined logotypes where its contrast and condensed proportions can add impact without ornament. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when set with comfortable spacing and ample size.
The font conveys a sleek, upscale attitude with a distinctly editorial and runway flavor. Its high-contrast construction reads as stylish and deliberate, lending headlines a dramatic, curated tone while keeping an overall modern, minimal demeanor.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast sans alternative to classic Didone-like display moods, translating that dramatic thick–thin emphasis into a cleaner, serifless structure. Its condensed proportions and vertical emphasis suggest a focus on elegant, space-efficient titling and brand-forward typography.
In running text the alternating thick-and-thin pattern produces a lively stripe effect, especially in sequences of verticals (like n/m/u) and in rounded letters where hairline sections become prominent. Numerals follow the same tall, contrast-forward logic, helping maintain a consistent texture across mixed content.
