This typeface is a high-contrast serif with tall, condensed proportions and a pronounced vertical rhythm. Thick stems are paired with very fine hairlines and sharp, delicate serifs, creating a crisp, cutting silhouette in both text and display sizes. Curves are tightly controlled and slightly sculptural (notably in C, S, and the bowls of B/P/R), while many terminals resolve to thin, tapered finishes. Figures follow the same contrast-driven logic, with narrow, upright forms and fine cross-strokes that keep the set visually light despite the bold verticals.
Best suited to headlines, magazine mastheads, fashion/editorial layouts, and brand marks where high contrast and condensed proportions can create impact. It can also serve as a distinctive accent face for pull quotes, packaging, or event materials, especially in larger sizes where the hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, with a couture/editorial feel driven by the stark contrast and slender stance. It reads as sophisticated and formal, projecting confidence and a sense of luxury rather than warmth or casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized didone-like presence: tall and compact with dramatic contrast, optimized for striking typographic color and a refined, premium impression in display-led settings.
In the samples, the strongest impression comes from the dense vertical texture and the sharpness of the hairlines; spacing and proportions favor a compact, column-like appearance. The lowercase shows a traditional, text-oriented structure (two-storey a and g) but retains a display-like sparkle due to the extreme contrast and fine finishing details.
