This typeface pairs tall, condensed proportions with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, tapered terminals. Stems show subtle flare as they meet the serifs, creating a sculpted, chiseled feel rather than blunt slab endings. Curves are taut and controlled, with small apertures and a generally vertical stress; the overall rhythm is even and formal, with sharp joins and clean, pointed details in characters like A, V, W, and the diagonal-tailed Q. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, mixing sturdy verticals with fine hairlines for a polished, display-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and editorial settings, and brand identities that benefit from a luxurious, high-contrast serif presence. It also performs well for posters, mastheads, and short pull quotes where its condensed proportions can deliver impact without taking excessive horizontal space.
The overall tone is elegant and high-fashion, with a confident, editorial sharpness. Its dramatic contrast and condensed stance read as premium and composed, lending a slightly theatrical sophistication to headlines and branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, fashion-oriented serif with classic roots: condensed proportions for efficiency and presence, paired with sharp contrast and flared serif shaping to heighten elegance and visual drama.
In text, the narrow set and strong contrast create a striking black-and-white pattern, especially in all-caps lines. Lowercase forms keep a traditional serif structure with compact counters, while terminals and serifs stay consistently tapered, reinforcing a cohesive, refined voice across letters and figures.
