A striking condensed display sans with extreme vertical emphasis and pronounced thick–thin contrast. Stems are heavy and straight, while horizontals and connecting strokes fall to hairline weights, creating a crisp, high-tension rhythm. Curves are compact and controlled, with rounded-rectangle tendencies in bowls and counters that stay narrow rather than expansive. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with occasional tapered joins and fine spur-like details in diagonals and some lowercase forms, reinforcing a precise, razor-edged silhouette.
Best suited to large sizes where its hairlines and tight counters can stay crisp: fashion headlines, magazine covers, boutique branding, premium packaging, and high-impact posters. It also works well for short subheads or logotype-style wordmarks where a tall, elegant presence is desired.
The tone is poised and high-fashion, combining elegance with intensity. Its stark contrast and compressed proportions feel theatrical and premium, evoking runway headlines, glossy editorial typography, and modern luxury branding rather than casual utility.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum sophistication and contrast in minimal horizontal space. By pairing heavyweight verticals with near-hairline cross-strokes and compact rounded forms, it prioritizes a chic, attention-grabbing voice for display typography.
Uppercase letters read like tall pillars with tight apertures (notably in C, G, S) and narrow internal spaces, which increases drama but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. Numerals and punctuation inherit the same condensed, hairline-crossbar logic, producing a consistent, highly stylized texture across mixed text.
