A tall, tightly set display face with extreme thick–thin modulation and long, hairline terminals. Strokes are largely straight and vertical, with occasional tapered joins and subtle swelling that creates a fluted, engraved feel. Curves are narrow and controlled (notably in C/O/Q and numerals), while diagonals in V/W/X are crisp and blade-like. The lowercase shows a compact, upright structure with delicate entry/exit strokes and small, restrained hooks on letters like a, g, j, and y, contributing to a precise, elegant rhythm.
Best suited to large-size settings such as magazine mastheads, editorial headlines, luxury branding, and high-impact posters. It can also work for packaging and short titling where its contrast and narrow proportions are used to create a sophisticated, space-efficient statement.
The overall tone is poised and theatrical, reading as fashion-forward and upscale. Its razor-thin details and stark contrast suggest luxury packaging and editorial sophistication, with a slightly vintage, high-society accent.
The font appears designed to deliver an elegant, runway-style display voice through elongated proportions and dramatic contrast, prioritizing visual impact and refinement over text-size neutrality.
The design relies on fine hairlines and tight internal counters, producing a striking black-and-white shimmer at larger sizes. Round forms are drawn narrowly, and several characters feature intentional tapering and needle-like terminals that emphasize verticality and tension.
