A refined serif with tall, condensed proportions and pronounced thick–thin contrast. Stems are dark and vertical while hairlines and serifs become very fine, producing a sharp, etched texture in text. Serifs are small and crisp with subtle bracketing, and many joins show a calligraphic logic that reads as vertical stress. Curves are clean and controlled, with tight apertures and compact counters that keep the rhythm narrow and disciplined across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
This face performs best at display and headline sizes where its hairlines and sharp serifs can stay clear and intentional. It fits magazine titling, book and film cover typography, premium packaging, and brand wordmarks that want a classic serif with heightened contrast. In longer passages it will feel formal and distinctive, especially with comfortable sizing and spacing.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, with a slightly theatrical contrast that feels suited to formal or literary settings. Its narrow, high-contrast color adds drama and sophistication, suggesting tradition with a decorative edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated, condensed serif voice with elevated contrast for impactful titles and refined editorial typography. Its controlled construction and crisp finishing emphasize elegance and authority while retaining enough character to feel special rather than purely utilitarian.
Capital forms read monumental and columnar, while lowercase details (notably in letters like a, g, and y) add a more expressive, text-like flavor. Numerals follow the same contrast and vertical emphasis, helping headings and pull quotes retain a consistent, elegant voice.
