A tightly compressed serif with tall proportions and pronounced thick–thin contrast. Strokes favor vertical emphasis, with slender hairlines, abrupt transitions into heavy stems, and sharp wedge-like serifs that read as tapered rather than slabby. Counters are narrow and often vertically oriented, giving the face a taut rhythm and a distinctly condensed texture in lines of text. The lowercase keeps a conventional x-height relative to its ascenders and descenders, but the overall silhouette remains narrow and columnar, with crisp, pointed terminals and compact bowls.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, magazine mastheads, poster titles, and brand marks where its compressed width and sharp contrast can be appreciated. It also works well for packaging and editorial pull quotes, especially when you want a tall, elegant texture. For longer passages, it will generally perform better at larger sizes and with generous leading to avoid a heavy overall color.
The overall tone is dramatic and fashion-forward, combining classic serif cues with a more theatrical, poster-like compression. Its sharpness and contrast lend a sense of formality and intensity, evoking vintage editorial headlines and display typography where impact and elegance are both desired.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining an elegant, serif-led identity. Its compressed proportions and wedge serifs suggest a display-oriented face built to project sophistication and drama in contemporary editorial and branding contexts.
In the sample text, the dense spacing and narrow internal shapes create a strong vertical cadence and a high-ink presence, especially in capitals and numerals. The figures follow the same condensed, contrasty construction, supporting attention-grabbing numbering in titles and callouts.
