A condensed display face built from heavy vertical stems paired with extremely thin hairlines, producing a crisp, high-contrast rhythm. Curves are tightly drawn and often taper into needle-like terminals, while joins and apertures are sharpened into pointed, wedge-like connections that read almost like intentional ink-traps. The silhouette is tall and columnar with compact counters, and the overall spacing feels measured for impact rather than text comfort.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairlines and sharp joins can remain clear—editorial headlines, fashion or culture magazines, posters, and distinctive brand marks. It can also work for packaging and short pull quotes when printing or rendering conditions preserve its fine strokes.
The font conveys a refined but assertive tone—glossy, dramatic, and slightly avant-garde. Its sharp transitions and hairline details add a sense of tension and sophistication that feels at home in high-end, attention-grabbing settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum contrast and vertical presence in a condensed footprint, combining luxury cues with a slightly experimental, sharpened construction. It prioritizes striking texture and silhouette, making it a statement choice for display typography.
Round forms such as O/Q/0 show pronounced thick–thin modulation, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X) resolve into very fine strokes that create a delicate, razor-edged sparkle. The design maintains a consistent vertical emphasis across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, giving lines of text a strong, architectural stripe.
