This is a condensed, high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strongly vertical rhythm. Serifs are fine and hairline-like with crisp, tapered terminals, giving many letters a sharp, chiseled finish. Capitals are tall and stately with narrow proportions, while the lowercase keeps a fairly traditional structure and a moderate x-height, producing a compact texture. Curves and joins stay controlled and clean, with a slightly calligraphic stress that reads as formal rather than casual.
It performs best in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display applications where its contrast and condensed proportions can read clearly. It’s well suited to magazine layouts, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster work that benefits from an elegant, high-impact serif presence.
The overall tone is sophisticated and dressy, evoking classic print typography and contemporary luxury branding. Its narrow stance and gleaming contrast create a poised, slightly dramatic voice that feels confident and upscale.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic high-contrast serif—optimized for dramatic, space-efficient typography while maintaining a refined, traditional silhouette. The goal is likely to provide an editorial, luxury-leaning voice with strong vertical emphasis and crisp detailing.
In text, the combination of tight widths and extreme contrast creates a crisp, vertical color that looks striking at larger sizes but can become delicate where hairlines and fine serifs accumulate. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, helping maintain a consistent, editorial feel across mixed content.
