A tightly condensed display face with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a strongly vertical rhythm. Stems are straight and crisp, while bowls and curves are drawn with smooth, rounded-rectangle tendencies that keep counters clean and controlled. Terminals are mostly blunt and tapered rather than bracketed, giving letters a sleek, cut-paper feel; joins stay sharp and decisive. Proportions are tall and narrow across both cases, with compact apertures and a consistent, high-strung line texture that reads as formal and deliberate.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and titling where its contrast and condensed width can deliver maximum impact in limited space. It works especially well for editorial layouts, fashion or culture posters, luxury branding, and packaging that benefits from a sleek, vertical typographic voice. Use with generous tracking and ample leading when setting multiple lines to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is sophisticated and high-fashion, with a poised, slightly dramatic presence. Its narrow stance and glossy contrast suggest luxury, nightlife, and magazine culture more than everyday utility, projecting confidence and polish.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary, condensed luxury look—pairing sharp, minimalist structure with high contrast and controlled, rounded geometry to achieve an upscale display voice that remains clean and modern.
Uppercase forms emphasize verticality and symmetry, while lowercase maintains a restrained, modern calligraphic flavor through contrast and terminal shaping. Numerals follow the same condensed, high-contrast logic, helping maintain a consistent color in mixed text. In longer settings it creates a strong, stripe-like texture, favoring impactful lines over relaxed readability.
