A condensed display face with tall proportions and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes tend to be vertically stressed, with narrow counters and rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) bowls in letters such as O and D. Terminals are mostly clean and uncluttered, but many joins show slight notch-like thinning that reads as an ink-trap or carved join, giving the shapes a crisp, engineered finish. The rhythm is tight and upright, with distinctive, high-contrast numerals and a single-storey g and a that keep the lowercase compact and graphic.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and short blocks of text where its contrast and condensed proportions can create impact. It works well for magazine mastheads, fashion or nightlife branding, product packaging, and pull quotes where a refined, high-drama texture is desirable.
The overall tone feels Art Deco–leaning and theatrical: sleek, upscale, and slightly retro. Its sharp contrast and compressed width create a dramatic, poster-ready voice that can read as fashion-forward and metropolitan rather than casual or utilitarian.
The font appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact display voice with a polished, geometric foundation softened by rounded-rectangle curves. Its controlled contrast and carved joins suggest a goal of balancing elegance with a crisp, contemporary finish for editorial and branding applications.
The design emphasizes verticality and compact spacing, with a strong black-and-white pattern at text sizes. Several glyphs feature subtly flared strokes and sculpted transitions that add personality without resorting to ornate detailing.
