A tall, condensed serif with pronounced vertical emphasis and strong thick–thin contrast. Stems are robust while connecting strokes and serifs resolve into fine, hairline terminals, creating a crisp, high-end rhythm. Letterforms feel mostly classical and upright, with tight sidebearings and a compact footprint that keeps text dense and column-friendly. Numerals and capitals maintain the same narrow, towering proportions, and the overall texture reads clean and sharply defined at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where a refined, condensed voice is needed. It works well for magazine layouts, fashion and cultural branding, posters, and packaging that benefits from high contrast and a strong vertical presence.
The tone is polished and assertive, mixing classic bookish formality with a distinctly modern, fashion-forward tension. The extreme contrast and narrow stance add drama and sophistication, giving headlines a confident, premium feel.
Likely designed to deliver an elegant condensed serif for contemporary editorial and brand use, leveraging dramatic contrast and tall proportions to maximize impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a conventional, familiar serif structure.
Curves and joins are kept taut, with minimal softness, so the font’s character comes from contrast and proportion rather than ornament. In running text the narrow set creates a compressed cadence, while capitals deliver a striking vertical skyline.
