A condensed, high-contrast sans with strongly vertical proportions and a crisp, editorial rhythm. Strokes swing between hairline joins and weighty stems, producing sharp internal counters and pronounced thick–thin modulation even in simple forms. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals tend to be clean and minimally finished, and spacing is tight but orderly, giving lines a tall, columnar texture. Numerals follow the same narrow, sculpted logic, with distinct silhouettes and clear stress.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, magazine layouts, and brand typography where a slim, high-contrast texture can carry a premium look. It can perform effectively in short blocks of copy when sized generously and given comfortable leading, and it’s especially strong for posters, fashion/beauty collateral, and packaging that benefits from a tall, striking typographic presence.
The overall tone is poised and dramatic, with a refined, runway-adjacent sleekness. Its narrow stance and high contrast lend a sense of sophistication and intensity, reading as contemporary and curated rather than casual. In paragraphs it feels stylized and deliberate, with a distinctive voice that attracts attention without ornament.
This font appears designed to deliver an elegant, space-efficient voice with pronounced contrast—prioritizing impact, sophistication, and a distinctive vertical rhythm for display-forward applications.
The design favors tall ascenders/descenders and compact widths, creating a strong vertical cadence across mixed-case text. The contrast and condensed structure make the type feel most confident at larger sizes where the hairlines and tight apertures can remain clear.
