A tall, condensed roman with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a crisp, vertical stance. Strokes are generally straight and controlled, with hairline connections and tapered terminals that give curves a sharpened, calligraphic edge. Counters are relatively tight and the overall rhythm is narrow and vertical, while round letters keep a clean, elliptical construction. Lowercase proportions feel compact through the midline, with slender ascenders and descenders adding a stately, columnar texture in text.
Best suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, book and magazine covers, and sophisticated branding where a condensed, high-contrast look can carry the composition. It can also work for short passages at comfortable sizes, especially where a refined, classic tone is desired.
The typeface reads as poised and cultured, balancing sharp elegance with a quiet formality. Its narrow, high-contrast build lends a refined, editorial tone that can feel dramatic without becoming ornate.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, condensed take on classic, high-contrast letterforms—prioritizing elegance, verticality, and crisp detail for impactful display and editorial settings.
In longer text the high contrast and narrow set create a light, airy color with distinct vertical emphasis. The numerals follow the same refined contrast and condensed proportions, pairing well with the uppercase for titling and display compositions.
