This typeface is built from sharp, tapered strokes with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and hairline joins, creating a crisp, sculpted texture. Capitals are tall and narrow with controlled, symmetrical curves and precise terminals, while the lowercase keeps a compact, upright rhythm with distinct bowls and clean, open counters. The overall drawing favors verticality and tension: stems feel firm, transitions are abrupt and polished, and spacing reads tight and orderly, producing a glossy, high-definition look in text and display sizes.
It suits editorial headlines, magazine typography, and brand identities where a clean, luxe impression is needed. The narrow, contrasty build also works well for posters, lookbooks, and packaging that benefits from a tall, space-efficient silhouette with sharp typographic sparkle.
The tone is polished and fashion-forward, combining restraint with drama from the strong contrast. It feels contemporary and upscale, with a cool, editorial confidence rather than warmth or informality. The sharp detailing and slim proportions lend it a premium, high-impact presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast voice that stays disciplined and upright while maximizing elegance through slim proportions and hairline detailing. It aims for strong visual impact in short text and titles, with a refined rhythm that reads deliberate and curated.
In the sample text, the font produces a dark-but-refined color where thick strokes anchor the line and hairlines add sparkle, especially in round letters and diagonals. Figures appear similarly contrasty and sleek, matching the letterforms’ vertical emphasis and giving numerals a stylish, headline-ready character.
