A tightly condensed display face with tall proportions and pronounced stroke modulation. Vertical stems carry most of the visual weight, while joins and terminals taper to fine, needle-like hairlines, producing a crisp, engraved rhythm. Curves are drawn with compact, rounded-rect geometry that keeps counters narrow and controlled, and the overall fit feels tight and vertical. Numerals and capitals read as strongly structured and columnar, with clear contrast-driven hierarchy between thick stems and thin connecting strokes.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and short blocks where its condensed footprint and strong contrast can create impact. It fits fashion/editorial layouts, brand marks, and packaging where a sleek, upscale voice is desired, and it can work well for numbered systems or titling when space is tight.
The tone is assertive and editorial, combining luxury headline polish with a slightly severe, poster-like presence. Its narrow stance and stark thick–thin pattern give it a dramatic, high-fashion flavor while still feeling contemporary and disciplined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow measure, using striking contrast and disciplined, rounded-rect construction to create an elegant, modern display voice. It prioritizes vertical momentum and sharp typographic drama for attention-grabbing titling.
In text settings, the condensed widths create dense word shapes and a strong vertical texture; the finest hairlines can visually recede at smaller sizes or on low-contrast backgrounds. The design’s consistency across caps, lowercase, and figures emphasizes a clean, modern display system rather than a neutral workhorse feel.
