A tall, tightly set serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a strong vertical rhythm. Stems are dominant and straight, while serifs are fine and sharp, often reading as hairline brackets or delicate wedges. Curves are sleek and controlled with a clear vertical stress, producing narrow counters and an overall condensed silhouette. The lowercase keeps a restrained, classic structure (double-storey a and g), and the numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with slender joins and crisp finishing strokes.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated—magazine and fashion headlines, luxury packaging, branding wordmarks, and high-end event materials. It can also work for short subheads and pull quotes when given generous size and spacing to preserve the hairline details.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a runway/editorial polish. Its narrow, high-contrast construction gives it a dramatic, sophisticated presence that feels formal and curated rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic serif voice: condensed, high-contrast, and visually striking, optimized for refined editorial and branding contexts where elegance and authority are priorities.
In longer lines the letterforms create a consistent, column-like texture; the thin strokes and small details become most prominent at display sizes. The ampersand and capitals lean toward a classic, ornamental elegance without becoming overly decorative.
