A condensed, high-contrast sans with tall proportions and a crisp vertical rhythm. Strokes show a pronounced thick–thin modulation, with heavy verticals and hairline connections and cross-strokes, giving the forms a calligraphic stress while keeping the overall construction clean and geometric. Curves are taut and rounded-rectangle in spirit, and many joins flare subtly where thick strokes meet thin ones, producing slight wedge/ink-trap-like shaping. Terminals are generally sharp and decisive, with narrow apertures and compact counters that stay clear at display sizes.
Performs best in headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and branding where its contrast and condensed width can create strong hierarchy. It also suits fashion, editorial, and premium packaging contexts, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The tone is elegant and fashion-forward, mixing modern minimalism with a touch of classic drama from the strong contrast. It feels authoritative and polished—suited to high-end messaging—while the condensed stance adds urgency and punch.
Likely drawn to deliver a sleek, contemporary condensed voice with high-contrast sophistication, balancing geometric roundness with calligraphic stroke behavior for impactful display typography.
Uppercase forms read statuesque and poster-ready, while the lowercase maintains a controlled, editorial texture with narrow bowls and short cross-strokes (notably on e/f/t). Numerals follow the same contrast logic, pairing sturdy stems with fine horizontals for a cohesive, display-oriented set.
