A refined serif with tall, condensed proportions and a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. The design emphasizes verticality: stems are straight and narrow, curves are tight, and counters feel compact, creating a crisp, columnar texture in text. Serifs are fine and precise, with hairline terminals and minimal bracketing, while joins and transitions are sharply defined, contributing to a polished, high-contrast look. Numerals follow the same elegant, narrow build, with clear differentiation and a consistent, airy baseline presence.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where its tall, polished character can lead the page. It also fits branding and packaging applications that benefit from a luxury-leaning serif voice, and works well for posters and titling when given space to breathe.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, with a fashion/editorial sensibility. Its crisp contrast and slender stance read as premium and formal, leaning toward a contemporary take on classical book and display serif traditions.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-end serif voice through condensed proportions and sharp contrast, prioritizing visual sophistication and hierarchy in display and editorial settings.
In running text, the narrow set and bright, high-contrast strokes create a light, shimmering color that suits generous tracking and comfortable line spacing. Uppercase forms feel especially statuesque, while lowercase maintains a restrained, tidy rhythm that supports refined typographic layouts.
