A condensed serif with striking vertical emphasis and strong thick–thin contrast. Stems are dominant and straight, while hairlines are extremely fine, giving the outlines a crisp, engraved feel. Serifs are small and sharp, with tapered terminals and occasional wedge-like finishing, and the overall rhythm is narrow and tightly packed. Curves stay controlled and upright, and the numerals echo the same tall, slender proportions for a cohesive text-and-display palette.
Best for headlines, deck type, pull quotes, and magazine or newspaper-style display where a tall, condensed voice saves space while staying luxurious. It can also work for short blocks of text in print-oriented layouts, as well as labels and packaging that benefit from a refined, vintage-leaning tone.
The tone is formal and theatrical, combining classic bookish cues with a fashion-forward, high-drama presence. Its narrow, high-contrast drawing reads as refined and a little severe—well suited to premium, old-world or noir-leaning branding.
Designed to deliver a classic serif presence in a highly condensed, high-contrast form—prioritizing elegance and impact while maintaining familiar letterforms. The intent appears to blend traditional editorial credibility with a sharper, more stylized display edge.
In running text the extreme contrast and tight proportions create a distinctive “vertical curtain” texture; generous tracking or larger sizes help keep the hairlines from visually disappearing. The uppercase feels especially towering and poster-like, while the lowercase maintains a crisp, editorial cadence.
