A tall, condensed sans with extremely thin hairlines paired against stronger vertical stems, creating a pronounced contrast. The overall construction is upright and linear, with long ascenders and descenders and a narrow set that produces a vertical rhythm in text. Curves are clean and controlled, and terminals tend to feel sharp and precise rather than soft, with minimal ornamentation. Counters are relatively small due to the narrow proportions, while joins and diagonals remain crisp and carefully aligned.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed width and high-contrast structure can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and culture editorial, posters, and premium branding. It can also work for short subheads, pull quotes, and packaging callouts where a sleek, vertical presence is desired.
The tone is sleek and fashion-forward, balancing restraint with drama through its stark contrast and compressed stance. It reads as refined and editorial, with a poised, upscale character that feels contemporary rather than overtly classic.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, luxury-leaning voice in a compact footprint, using dramatic stroke contrast and narrow proportions to achieve elegance and impact without decorative excess.
In the sample text, the narrow spacing and strong vertical emphasis create an efficient, column-like texture; the thinnest strokes can visually recede at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same tall, elegant proportion, reinforcing a consistent typographic color across mixed content.
