A condensed display serif with pronounced vertical stress and stark thick-to-thin modulation. Stems are heavy and straight while cross-strokes and serifs drop to fine hairlines, creating a crisp, high-contrast rhythm. Serifs are small and sharp with minimal bracketing, and many terminals feel pointed or tapered. Counters are relatively tight and the overall color is dark, with tall lowercase proportions and a narrow footprint that keeps lines compact.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display, posters, and brand marks where high contrast can be appreciated at size. It can also work for packaging or titling in contexts that aim for a premium, editorial look, especially with comfortable spacing and clean reproduction.
The typeface projects a refined, dramatic tone associated with fashion and editorial typography. Its sharp contrast and tightly drawn forms feel formal and slightly theatrical, suggesting luxury and high-end presentation rather than casual everyday use.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-impact serif voice in a condensed width, prioritizing striking contrast and vertical emphasis. Its detailing and proportions suggest a display-first purpose: to create instant sophistication and drama in short phrases and prominent typographic moments.
The sample text shows strong sparkle at larger sizes as hairlines and serifs catch the eye against the heavy verticals. Numerals follow the same contrast logic and read as classic and display-oriented, with curved figures showing pronounced thinning in transitions. In longer settings, the tight apertures and dense texture suggest it benefits from generous tracking and ample leading.
