A condensed, vertically oriented text face with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and controlled, while joins and stroke endings often resolve to fine points, giving the outlines a cut, precise feel. The proportions are tight with relatively narrow counters and a steady, upright rhythm; capitals read tall and stately, and the lowercase maintains a conventional, readable structure with elegant, high-contrast detailing.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and brand titling where its contrast and condensed proportions can create a distinctive, upscale presence. It can work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes, but its finest hairlines and tight counters will show to best advantage in larger or well-printed contexts.
The overall tone is polished and sophisticated, with a runway/editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and narrow stance create a sense of drama and poise rather than warmth, suggesting formality and a premium, design-forward voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast voice with a compact footprint, combining clean construction with fashion-leaning elegance. It prioritizes striking vertical rhythm and refined detail to stand out in titling and editorial settings without relying on overt ornament.
The numeral set follows the same high-contrast logic, producing a sleek, display-friendly texture. In text, the strong vertical emphasis and tight internal spaces can build a dark, stylish color, especially as size decreases, while larger settings highlight the razor-thin hairlines and refined shaping.
