A tightly condensed, vertical sans with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a predominantly monolinear skeleton that is sharpened by hairline joins and terminals. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than fully circular forms. Strokes end cleanly with minimal finishing, and several letters use deep, narrow counters and slit-like apertures that reinforce a tall, poster-like rhythm. Numerals and capitals maintain an architectural, columnar presence, while diagonals (notably in V/W/X) introduce needle-thin connecting strokes that heighten the contrast.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short statements where its condensed width and dramatic contrast can carry the layout. It works especially well for fashion/editorial design, event posters, branding wordmarks, and packaging that needs a refined, graphic presence. For longer passages, it will be more effective when set large with generous line spacing.
The overall tone is sleek and theatrical, evoking classic marquee and Art Deco signage with a contemporary, high-fashion edge. Its narrow stance and sharp contrast read as confident and slightly austere, lending a sense of sophistication and intensity rather than warmth.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver an elegant, space-saving display voice: tall, compact capitals and superellipse-based rounds create a streamlined silhouette, while hairline details add a premium, stylized finish. The emphasis seems to be on creating a distinctive signature for attention-grabbing typographic compositions rather than a general-purpose text face.
In text settings the tight proportions create strong vertical texture and prominent word shapes, with punctuation and dots appearing compact and crisp. The design favors impact over neutrality, and the most delicate hairlines may visually recede at small sizes or on low-contrast backgrounds.
