A tightly condensed display face with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Forms are streamlined and upright, with compact counters and controlled, rounded-rectangle geometry that keeps curves smooth while allowing sharp terminals. Strokes often resolve in crisp, flat ends, and key joins (like in V/W and the diagonal of X) taper to fine points, heightening the contrast. The lowercase follows a fairly standard structure with single-storey a and g and a tall, narrow rhythm that stays consistent across the set; numerals are similarly narrow, with a prominent contrast and compact bowls.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, cover lines, and brand marks where condensed width and high contrast can deliver impact. It performs well in short to medium text settings such as editorial pull quotes, fashion or beauty packaging, and upscale promotional materials, especially where vertical rhythm and sharp detail are desirable.
The overall tone is sleek and high-fashion, combining restraint with drama. The extreme verticality and sharp contrast create a confident, premium feel that reads as contemporary editorial rather than casual or friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, stylish voice that maximizes presence in limited horizontal space. Its contrast and clean, controlled curves suggest a focus on sophisticated display typography for contemporary editorial and branding contexts.
Spacing and proportions emphasize a strong vertical cadence, producing a dark, striped texture in lines of text. Round letters like O/Q stay narrow and controlled, while verticals dominate the silhouette; punctuation and dots appear crisp and deliberate, reinforcing the refined, print-oriented character.
