A condensed, right-leaning display face with extreme stroke contrast and a crisp, editorial rhythm. Thick vertical stems are paired with hairline diagonals and entry strokes that often extend as needle-like terminals, creating a taut, high-speed texture. Curves are narrow and controlled, with rounded counters that read as compact ovals; joins are clean and largely unbracketed, keeping the forms modern and pared back. Lowercase shows a mix of simple, streamlined constructions and occasional calligraphic touches (notably in the f, g, j, y), while numerals follow the same compressed, high-contrast logic for a cohesive set.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, large-format editorial layouts, and brand marks where high contrast and condensed width can be showcased. It also works well for premium packaging, event titling, and campaign graphics that need a sophisticated, fashion-forward feel. Use with ample size and spacing to preserve the hairline detail and keep the narrow shapes from crowding.
The overall tone is chic and high-drama, evoking runway typography, glossy magazine headlines, and upscale branding. Its sharp hairlines and narrow proportions give it a sleek, assertive presence that feels refined rather than playful. The italic slant adds motion and attitude, pushing the voice toward expressive, attention-grabbing communication.
The font appears designed to deliver an upscale, contemporary display voice by combining condensed proportions with a stark thick–thin structure and italic momentum. The restrained, mostly unadorned construction keeps it modern, while selective calligraphic inflections add personality and hierarchy in mixed-case settings.
The design’s legibility relies on generous size and clean reproduction: the hairlines and long tapered terminals become a defining feature, and also the most delicate part of the texture. In continuous text the condensed width creates strong vertical striping, while in headlines the contrast and italic angle produce a striking, poster-like silhouette.
