A condensed display sans with sharply vertical posture and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes resolve into fine hairlines at joins and terminals, producing a crisp, polished rhythm across text. Curves are taut and controlled—especially in the bowls and numerals—while counters stay open despite the narrow proportions. Terminals are clean and mostly unadorned, with occasional tapered finishes that heighten the contrast and give capitals a tall, column-like presence.
Best suited to display work where its condensed proportions and contrast can read clearly: magazine titles, fashion/editorial layouts, brand wordmarks, posters, and premium packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or UI hero text when set with generous tracking and ample size, but it is visually optimized for larger, attention-focused settings.
The overall tone is sleek and sophisticated, with a couture/editorial attitude. Its narrow, high-fashion rhythm reads as premium and deliberate rather than casual, projecting precision and restraint. The high contrast adds drama and a sense of luxury without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, condensed display voice that feels luxurious and architectural. By combining strict verticality with delicate hairlines, it aims to create high-impact typography with a refined, boutique finish for modern branding and editorial applications.
In running text the texture is strongly vertical, with thin joins and tight widths creating a striped page color. Round letters (like O, Q, and 0) retain a poised ovality, and the numerals echo the same tension between sturdy stems and delicate hairlines, helping headlines feel cohesive across mixed alphanumeric settings.
