A condensed, high-contrast roman with tall proportions and a distinctly vertical rhythm. Strokes alternate between hairline-thin connections and heavier verticals, producing crisp inner counters and a sleek, slightly rigid texture in text. Curves are smooth and controlled, while terminals tend toward sharp, clean endings rather than rounded forms, reinforcing a precise, contemporary feel. Uppercase forms are stately and narrow; lowercase keeps a compact footprint with clear joins and a consistent, disciplined construction across the set.
Best suited to display typography—headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and branding where a narrow footprint and high contrast help create impact without taking up much horizontal space. It can work for short text blocks in editorial layouts when set with comfortable size and leading, but it shines most when allowed to act as a visual accent.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, projecting sophistication with a touch of drama. Its strong contrast and compressed stance read as fashion-forward and upscale, suited to headlines that want to feel premium, confident, and composed.
Designed to deliver a compact, high-contrast voice that feels contemporary and premium, balancing sharp detail with a controlled, readable structure for attention-grabbing typography in layout and brand contexts.
In continuous text the contrast creates pronounced light–dark striping, especially around vertical stems, which can add sparkle at display sizes. The numerals follow the same condensed, contrast-driven logic, with bold verticals and fine connecting strokes that keep them visually aligned with the letters.
