A tightly condensed display face built around tall, vertical proportions and strong thick–thin modulation. Stems are heavy and straight, while joins and terminals often resolve into needle-like points and tapered wedges, giving curves a crisp, cut-in feel. Counters are narrow and upright, and the overall rhythm is columnar, with some glyphs showing intentionally idiosyncratic widths and asymmetric detailing (notably in diagonals and bowls). Numerals follow the same compressed, high-drama construction, with distinctive silhouettes and pronounced contrast.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, mastheads, cover lines, and brand marks where its compressed width and high-contrast sparkle can command attention. It also works well for short bursts of text—taglines, labels, and title cards—where the dramatic forms can be appreciated without crowding.
The tone is assertive and stylized, mixing elegance with a slightly menacing, theatrical edge. It evokes poster and headline lettering where tension, speed, and spectacle matter more than neutrality, reading as fashion-forward and somewhat gothic in atmosphere without becoming ornate.
The font appears designed to maximize impact in minimal horizontal space while retaining a refined, high-fashion contrast. Its pointed terminals and condensed construction suggest an intention toward expressive, attention-grabbing typography for editorial and promotional contexts rather than long-form reading.
The design leans on extreme verticality and sharp internal notches, so spacing and texture can look quite dense in longer lines. Diagonal letters and pointed terminals introduce a lively, irregular sparkle that is most noticeable at larger sizes.
