A tightly condensed sans with pronounced vertical emphasis and extreme contrast between thick stems and hairline joins. Curves are narrow and controlled, with small, crisp terminals and minimal ornamentation, while counters stay slim and tall. The rhythm is punchy and poster-like, with sturdy black verticals anchoring lighter connecting strokes; numerals follow the same tall, compressed construction for a consistent, columnar texture.
Best used for headlines, cover lines, and short statements where vertical compression and contrast can deliver maximum impact. It suits editorial design, fashion/beauty branding, posters, and packaging where a tall, refined texture is desirable; for longer copy, larger sizes and added spacing help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is sleek and dramatic, combining fashion-editorial elegance with a slightly vintage display sensibility. Its narrow proportions and stark light–dark modulation create a confident, attention-grabbing voice that feels suited to high-impact, curated messaging rather than neutral text.
The design appears intended as a condensed display sans that leverages stark contrast and verticality to create a sophisticated, high-impact typographic color. It prioritizes striking silhouette and headline presence over everyday text neutrality.
The sample text shows strong word-shape in headlines, but the thin connective strokes and tight internal spaces suggest it benefits from generous tracking and larger sizes. Round letters keep a tall oval silhouette, and diagonals remain relatively restrained compared to the dominant vertical strokes.
