This typeface is built on extremely condensed proportions with a strong vertical rhythm and pronounced thick–thin contrast. Strokes are predominantly straight and taut, with rounded-rectangle curves in bowls and counters that feel controlled rather than geometric-circular. Joins and terminals are crisp and abrupt, producing a clean, cut-paper finish; curved letters like O/Q and the bowls of P/R show narrow, elongated superelliptical forms. The lowercase follows a compact, disciplined structure with short extenders and simple, unembellished construction, while numerals are tall, narrow, and display-like in their spacing and weight distribution.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where its condensed width and high contrast can deliver maximum impact. It performs particularly well in fashion/editorial layouts, posters, and brand marks that benefit from a tall, sleek silhouette. For comfortable reading, it’s most effective at larger sizes where the fine hairlines and tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone is stylish and assertive, combining luxury-editorial polish with a slightly severe modernist attitude. Its dramatic contrast and compressed silhouette create a high-impact presence that feels contemporary, metropolitan, and designed for attention.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver a glamorous, contemporary display voice by combining extreme vertical compression with refined contrast and restrained, superelliptical roundness. The design prioritizes striking texture and elegance over neutrality, aiming for a distinctive headline presence.
The design’s tight internal spaces and slender hairlines give it a distinctly display-oriented texture, especially in long words where the vertical cadence becomes a defining feature. Diagonal forms (such as V/W/X/Y) are notably thin and sharp, reinforcing the tense, elegant character.
