This typeface uses tall, condensed proportions with pronounced vertical stress and strong thick–thin modulation. Strokes are predominantly straight and upright, with crisp, tapered terminals and occasional hairline connections that create a refined, cut-paper sharpness. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are controlled, giving the design a compact rhythm; curves in letters like C, G, S, and e are drawn with lean, tensioned arcs rather than soft roundness. Numerals follow the same condensed, high-contrast construction, producing an overall color that is dark, vertical, and distinctly graphic.
Best suited to display use such as magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle editorial, brand marks, packaging titles, and poster typography where its condensed stature and contrast can deliver impact. It can also work for short subheads and pull quotes when given enough size and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its narrow, high-contrast voice feels confident and slightly formal, evoking editorial headlines, luxury branding, and refined display typography rather than casual text settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, contemporary display voice by combining condensed proportions with high contrast and precise, sharp terminals. It prioritizes elegance and vertical emphasis to achieve strong presence in short-form, attention-driven typography.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and condensed width create striking word shapes and pronounced vertical cadence, especially in capitals and tall lowercase forms. The design’s hairline elements and tight internal spaces make it feel most convincing at larger sizes where the delicate strokes can be appreciated.
