A sharply slanted, condensed sans with pronounced stroke modulation and long, clean verticals. Curves are drawn with taut, elliptical tension, and joins stay crisp rather than softened, giving a precise, cut-paper feel. The uppercase is tall and narrow with open counters and minimal terminal fuss, while the lowercase maintains a readable, moderate x-height and keeps bowls compact. Numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast logic, with especially slender stems and delicate hairlines that emphasize a vertical rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, magazine-style typography, and brand moments where a refined, high-style voice is needed. It can work well for posters, lookbooks, and short pull quotes, especially when set with ample tracking and line spacing. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable in larger text sizes where the hairlines and condensed shapes remain clear.
The overall tone is sleek and fashion-forward, projecting sophistication and a controlled sense of drama. Its steep italic posture and stark thick–thin contrast add urgency and glamour, reading as modern and editorial rather than casual or utilitarian.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary, high-end display italic with a strong vertical cadence and expressive contrast, aiming for elegance without relying on overt ornament. Its narrow proportions and crisp construction suggest an intention to stand out in editorial and branding contexts while keeping forms clean and modern.
Spacing appears tuned for display: letters sit narrowly and create a consistent vertical cadence, while wide curves (like C/O forms) still keep their footprint restrained. The design’s thin hairlines suggest it will reward generous sizes and careful contrast management on bright backgrounds.
