A tightly condensed serif with tall proportions and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The design emphasizes vertical strokes with crisp, hairline serifs and minimal bracketing, creating a clean, engraved-like finish. Curves are compact and controlled, counters are relatively narrow, and joins stay sharp, giving the letterforms a taut, upright rhythm. Numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast logic with firm verticals and fine terminals.
This font is best suited to headlines, subheads, magazine covers, and poster typography where height and contrast can shine. It also works well for branding in contexts that call for sophistication and a classic editorial voice, especially when paired with a calmer text face.
The overall tone is refined and assertive, pairing elegance with a slightly theatrical, poster-like punch. Its narrow stance and sparkling hairlines suggest fashion, culture, and classic print typography rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-fashion condensed serif voice with strong vertical structure and striking contrast—optimized for attention-grabbing display settings while retaining a traditional serif vocabulary.
In text, the strong vertical emphasis creates a consistent stripe pattern, while the fine horizontals and serifs add a delicate shimmer. The condensed widths and tight inner spaces can feel intense at smaller sizes, but the forms read confidently when given room and adequate size.
