A condensed, high-contrast design with tall proportions, crisp terminals, and a predominantly vertical stress. Strokes alternate between very thin hairlines and firm main stems, creating a sharp rhythm in both text and titling sizes. Curves are taut and controlled, counters are relatively open for the width, and joins stay clean rather than calligraphic. Capitals read stately and streamlined, while the lowercase keeps a compact footprint with narrow bowls and a clear, straight-sided structure in many forms.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography where contrast and verticality can carry the layout. It can also work for branding, packaging, and posters that benefit from a refined, high-impact voice, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is polished and assertive, balancing elegance with a cool, contemporary restraint. The strong contrast and condensed stance give it an editorial, fashion-forward character that feels premium and intentional rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, space-efficient typographic color with an upscale, editorial sensibility. Its condensed proportions and pronounced contrast suggest a focus on impactful display use while remaining orderly and readable in short text settings.
The numerals follow the same condensed, high-contrast logic, with prominent thick–thin transitions and sharp finishing details. In running text the thin strokes create a lively sparkle, while the heavier verticals preserve clarity and hierarchy.
