A condensed, forward-leaning sans with pronounced thick–thin modulation and an overall tall, elegant silhouette. Curves are smooth and rounded, while joins and terminals often finish in crisp, tapered points, creating a refined, calligraphic rhythm. Counters are compact and vertical, with streamlined bowls and soft-rectangular rounding that keeps forms clean despite the strong contrast. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g and generally narrow apertures, reinforcing a tight, vertical texture across words.
Best suited to headlines, cover lines, posters, and brand marks where a narrow footprint and strong rhythm help text cut through. It can work for short subheads and pull quotes, but the tight apertures and dramatic modulation suggest using it more as a display face than for long-form reading at small sizes.
The tone is polished and high-style, with a runway/editorial sharpness that reads confident and slightly theatrical. Its contrast and steep slant add speed and tension, giving headlines a sense of luxury and urgency rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, fashion-leaning voice in a compact width, combining smooth rounded construction with crisp, tapered detailing. Its strong diagonal energy and vertical emphasis suggest a focus on impactful editorial typography and premium branding applications.
The numerals follow the same condensed, italicized logic, with slim joins and decisive thick strokes that keep figures legible while maintaining a display-forward character. Overall spacing and proportions create a consistent vertical cadence, with distinctive, elongated letterforms that feel designed to stand out at larger sizes.
