A tall, condensed display face with pronounced stroke contrast and a clean, uncluttered construction. Vertical stems read as firm, straight hairlines that swell into thicker strokes in curves and joins, creating a sharp light–dark rhythm. Terminals are predominantly clean and unembellished, with rounded joins and smooth, controlled curves; counters are narrow and elongated, reinforcing the vertical emphasis. Spacing appears measured but tight, and the numerals follow the same slim, high-contrast logic for a consistent, linear texture in text.
Well-suited to headlines, magazine layouts, luxury and fashion branding, and poster titling where an elegant, condensed voice is desired. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when set with generous size and leading to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is polished and fashion-forward, with a poised, gallery-like restraint. Its thin, elongated forms convey sophistication and precision, lending a premium feel that stays modern rather than ornamental.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a sleek, contemporary display voice built around extreme slenderness and crisp contrast, prioritizing sophistication and vertical presence over utilitarian neutrality.
The design favors verticality and delicacy, so it reads best where there is enough size and breathing room for the hairline strokes and tight counters to remain clear. In continuous text it produces a distinctive, columnar rhythm with noticeable contrast-driven sparkle.
