A tall, tightly condensed display face built from strongly vertical forms and extreme thick–thin modulation. Strokes snap between robust stems and hairline connectors, creating a sharp, high-gloss rhythm; terminals are clean and largely unbracketed, keeping the overall silhouette crisp. Curves are narrow and ovalized, counters are compact, and joins are controlled, giving letters a sleek, column-like presence. Numerals follow the same slender, high-contrast logic with elegant hairline details that read best at larger sizes.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty headlines, posters, and high-end branding where its condensed width helps fit long titles. It can also work for short pull quotes, packaging wordmarks, and event titling when ample size and clean printing or rendering preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is poised and theatrical, with a runway/editorial polish and a hint of Art Deco poster drama. Its severe verticality and razor-thin hairlines convey luxury, precision, and confidence more than warmth or informality.
The design appears intended to maximize elegance and impact within a narrow footprint, using dramatic contrast and vertical emphasis to create a premium display voice for editorial and brand-forward applications.
The most delicate hairlines and tight internal spaces make spacing and size choice especially important; in longer passages the intense contrast can become visually insistent, while in headlines it delivers striking, sophisticated impact.
