A tightly condensed display face with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a strongly vertical stance. Strokes snap between hairline connections and weighty stems, giving letters a sharp, chiseled rhythm and a compact texture in text. Curves are controlled and smooth, with rounded bowls that read as sculpted rather than calligraphic, and terminals tend to finish cleanly without extended ornament. The overall spacing is economical, producing tall, narrow word shapes with crisp punctuation and numerals that follow the same high-contrast logic.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display typography, fashion and culture applications, and brand wordmarks where a tall, refined silhouette is desirable. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging labels when set with comfortable line height and not pushed to very small sizes.
The tone is refined and dramatic, combining a contemporary, editorial polish with a slightly theatrical edge from the extreme contrast. It feels confident and stylish—more suited to making statements than disappearing into the background—while staying disciplined and orderly in its construction.
The design appears intended to deliver an upscale, space-saving display voice: tall proportions for compact width, and high contrast for sparkle and hierarchy. Its disciplined curves and clean finishing suggest a focus on contemporary editorial styling and impactful titling rather than long-form text comfort.
In the sample text, the narrow set and high contrast create a dense, elegant page color at larger sizes, with especially striking verticals in capitals. Hairline joins and thin diagonals (notably in letters like V, W, X, and the upper joins in numerals) are visually delicate, so the design reads best when given enough size and reproduction quality.
