A condensed, high-contrast display face with tall proportions and sharp, clean terminals. Strokes alternate between very thin hairlines and heavier verticals, producing a crisp, editorial rhythm. Curves are narrow and controlled, with rounded-rectangle tendencies in bowls and counters, while joins stay tight and vertical. The overall texture is vertical and airy, with generous internal space for such a narrow width and a consistent, upright stance across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display settings where its contrast and condensed width can shine—headlines, deck type, posters, and high-impact titling. It also works well for brand marks and packaging that want a refined, contemporary voice, especially in larger sizes where the hairlines remain visible.
The font reads as poised and fashion-forward, balancing austerity with a touch of theatrical contrast. Its narrow silhouette and hairline details evoke magazine headlines and contemporary luxury branding, delivering a cool, composed tone with a hint of drama.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, space-efficient headline style with a modern, editorial finish. By combining a condensed skeleton with pronounced contrast and controlled rounded forms, it aims for strong verticality, premium tone, and clear silhouette recognition in short to medium text runs.
Uppercase forms emphasize vertical stems and compact bowls; lowercase maintains a similarly condensed skeleton with prominent ascenders and a clean, minimalist construction. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, staying slender and graphic, which helps the set feel cohesive in mixed text.
