A tall, tightly drawn serif with striking contrast between stout vertical stems and near-hairline horizontals. Proportions are markedly condensed, giving the alphabet a vertical, column-like rhythm with generous interior height and crisp, clean counters. Serifs are fine and precise, with minimal bracketing, and many joins read as sharp or lightly tapered rather than rounded. Curves are controlled and upright, with a clear vertical stress; bowls and rounds stay narrow and disciplined, reinforcing the font’s sleek, elongated silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, magazine or newspaper mastheads, posters, and branding where a tall, refined presence is desirable. It can also work for short subheads, pull quotes, and premium packaging where the high-contrast detailing can be given enough size to remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and slightly severe, projecting a poised, high-style confidence. Its narrow, high-contrast construction creates a sense of drama and sophistication that feels at home in luxury and culture-forward contexts. The voice is more display than conversational—cool, composed, and attention-directing.
The design appears intended as a condensed, high-contrast serif for display typography—maximizing elegance and impact through vertical emphasis, sharp detailing, and a disciplined, modernized classic structure.
In the sample text, the condensed set width produces strong texture and efficient line fill, while the hairlines and delicate serifs create a shimmering surface at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same tall, compressed logic, keeping a cohesive vertical rhythm across mixed text.
