A condensed serif with pronounced verticality and tapered, flaring terminals that create a subtly calligraphic silhouette. Strokes show clear contrast, with slender hairlines and stronger stems, and many joins narrow into sharp wedges rather than flat slabs. Serifs are crisp and lightly bracketed, often resolving into pointed feet and beak-like tips, giving the outlines a chiseled, engraved feel. The lowercase has a modest x-height with tall ascenders and descenders, and the overall spacing reads tight and columnar, producing an elegant, high-fashion rhythm in text.
Best suited to display use such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, cultural posters, and premium packaging where its condensed stance can maximize impact in limited width. In editorial settings it works well for titles, pull quotes, and section openers, while longer text benefits from comfortable leading and sizes that protect the delicate strokes.
The tone is poised and authoritative, balancing classic bookish refinement with a slightly theatrical sharpness. Its narrow proportions and flared endings add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, suited to designs that want elegance with edge rather than warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-contrast serif voice with flared, tapering terminals—combining traditional editorial cues with a more stylized, modern sharpness for attention-grabbing typography.
Uppercase forms emphasize narrow counters and tall proportions, while the lowercase keeps lively details in terminals and entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast logic, reading best when given a bit of size or breathing room to preserve the fine hairlines.
