A sharply contrasted serif with tall, condensed proportions and pronounced vertical stress. Thick stems are paired with extremely fine hairlines and needle-like, largely unbracketed serifs, producing a crisp, high-tension rhythm. Curves are narrow and controlled, counters are tight, and terminals tend to finish cleanly with minimal flare. Overall spacing appears compact and columnar, emphasizing height and verticality in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and large-size display where the fine hairlines can be appreciated and the condensed proportions help fit long titles into narrow spaces. It works particularly well for fashion, beauty, luxury, and magazine/editorial layouts, as well as posters and packaging where a sophisticated, high-impact voice is desired.
The font projects a polished, upscale tone with a distinctly editorial drama. Its razor-thin details and taut proportions feel luxurious and formal, with a poised, runway-ready coolness rather than warmth. The overall impression is confident and attention-seeking, suited to settings where refinement and contrast are part of the message.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a classic high-contrast serif: tall, narrow letterforms with crisp, hairline detailing that prioritizes elegance and visual impact over everyday text robustness.
In continuous text the strong thick–thin transitions create sparkle and a distinctly vertical texture, while the narrow widths intensify the sense of density. The figures follow the same condensed, high-contrast logic, keeping numerals visually consistent with the letterforms.
