A tightly condensed display face with tall proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes show pronounced contrast between thick stems and hairline connections, with clean, mostly straight terminals and minimal rounding. Counters are narrow and elongated, and many forms lean on simplified, geometric construction (notably in the circular letters and numerals) while diagonals stay sharp and taut. Overall spacing appears compact, producing a dense, punchy texture in both uppercase and lowercase settings.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and other large-size applications where condensed width and high contrast can deliver maximum impact. It can work well for magazine covers, fashion/editorial layouts, branding marks, and packaging where a tall, stylish voice is desired. For longer passages, it’s most effective in short bursts (pull quotes, decks, captions) where its dense rhythm remains comfortable to read.
The font projects a dramatic, fashion-forward tone with an editorial edge. Its compressed width and stark stroke contrast create a confident, high-impact voice that feels contemporary and slightly theatrical. The overall impression is sleek and emphatic rather than neutral or conversational.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, space-saving display style without sacrificing presence. By combining tall condensed proportions with pronounced contrast and simplified sans structures, it aims to create a distinctive, contemporary look optimized for attention-grabbing typography.
The uppercase set reads particularly strong due to its tall caps and dark verticals, while the lowercase introduces finer hairlines that heighten the contrast and give mixed-case text a lively, shimmering texture. Numerals follow the same condensed logic with clear silhouettes suited to prominent display use.
