A compressed display face with extreme thick–thin modulation and sharply defined, tapering joins. Vertical strokes dominate, while horizontals and curves pinch to hairline-like connections, creating a carved, poster-ready silhouette. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared, with occasional small notches and wedge-like transitions that add a chiseled feel. Counters are tight and oval-to-rectangular, and the overall rhythm is punchy with strong black presence and crisp internal shaping.
Best for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short titling where its contrast and compressed width can deliver impact without consuming space. It suits magazine and fashion contexts, theatrical or event posters, bold packaging labels, and brand marks that want a sharp, editorial voice.
The tone is forceful and theatrical, combining a refined, high-fashion polish with a slightly old-world, print-era drama. Its narrow stance and stark contrast read as confident and commanding, suited to attention-grabbing statements rather than quiet text.
The design appears intended to maximize drama and density: a condensed, high-contrast construction that reads as premium and attention-forward at display sizes. Its sculpted joins and tight spacing suggest it was drawn for striking typographic color and a distinctive, stylized texture in titles.
In longer lines the thin connectors and tight counters create a lively, shimmering texture, especially around letters with pinched waists and compact bowls. Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, with bold bodies and sharply reduced joins that emphasize a vertical, headline-driven cadence.
