A condensed, high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis and razor-thin hairlines. The letterforms are tall and tightly set, with narrow counters and an overall compressed footprint that maintains clear differentiation between stems and connecting strokes. Serifs are fine and clean, with minimal bracketing and crisp joins that heighten the chiseled, engraved feel. Curves and bowls are controlled and upright, and the numerals follow the same tall, streamlined rhythm for a consistent, columnar texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine heads, editorial titling, fashion or cultural posters, and brand marks that benefit from a tall, condensed silhouette. It can work for short pull quotes or subheads when sized appropriately, but its fine hairlines and compressed counters make it less ideal for long-form body copy at small sizes.
The tone is sleek and assertive, balancing elegance with a slightly theatrical, poster-like intensity. Its narrow proportions and stark contrast create a refined, high-fashion sensibility that reads as premium and headline-driven rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, space-efficient serif voice for display use, pairing a dramatic contrast profile with narrow proportions to create strong vertical rhythm and a polished, upscale presence.
In paragraphs, the tight width and bright hairlines produce a distinct striped texture, especially in sequences of verticals, so spacing and size become important for comfort. The design rewards clean printing and generous leading, where its sharp details and thin serifs can stay intact.
