A refined, high-contrast display face with crisp, needle-like hairlines paired against strong vertical stems. The proportions are generally condensed, with tall capitals and a clean, upright stance. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are sharp and minimal, and the overall rhythm leans vertical, giving lines of text a polished, statuesque silhouette. Numerals and capitals show pronounced thick–thin modulation, while lowercase maintains a measured x-height with slender joins and compact counters.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks where the high contrast can read cleanly and feel intentional. It also fits luxury packaging and poster typography, particularly when paired with generous spacing and simple layouts.
The tone is poised and dramatic, reading as editorial and fashion-forward with a premium, gallery-like quietness. Its contrast and narrow presence create a sense of precision and exclusivity, suited to high-end branding where elegance and impact are the goal.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a classic contrasted model: narrow, upright, and sharply drawn to maximize elegance and visual authority in display settings.
At larger sizes, the fine hairlines and tight internal spaces become a defining feature, producing a shimmering texture and strong hierarchy. The design’s sharpness and contrast make it visually striking, especially in titles and short text where individual letterforms can breathe.
