A condensed serif with tall proportions and pronounced thick–thin contrast. Stems are strongly vertical with hairline connecting strokes and delicate bracketed serifs that read crisp at display sizes. Counters are relatively narrow and oval, and the overall rhythm is tight and upright, giving lines a compact, column-like texture. Lowercase forms are clean and classical, with narrow shoulders and a slender, high-contrast spine in letters like s and g; figures follow the same tall, condensed logic.
Well-suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display typography where a refined, upscale voice is needed. Its condensed proportions help fit long titles into narrow columns, making it a strong choice for magazine layouts, posters, and packaging or branding that calls for a classic serif with extra drama.
The tone is poised and dressy, projecting a polished, editorial sophistication. Its sharp contrast and narrow stance add a slightly theatrical, high-fashion energy while remaining traditional and composed.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional text-serif sensibility in a more compact, high-contrast, display-leaning form—prioritizing elegance, verticality, and a distinctive editorial presence.
In the sample text, the tight spacing and strong vertical emphasis create a dense, striking color on the page. The design’s fine serifs and hairlines make it feel most at home at larger sizes or in high-quality reproduction where its contrast can stay crisp.
