A condensed, high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and crisp, hairline serifs. Thick stems pair with extremely thin horizontals and joins, creating a striking light–dark rhythm and a distinctly vertical texture. Serifs read sharp and largely unbracketed, with clean, squared edges and occasional tapered terminals; curves are tightly drawn, keeping counters relatively narrow. The lowercase shows a compact, contemporary Didone-like construction with sturdy verticals, a modest x-height, and clear, pointed detailing in letters such as a, e, s, and t. Numerals follow the same condensed proportions and contrast, producing an assertive, display-forward presence.
Best suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and large-scale typography where its contrast and condensed proportions can create a luxurious, editorial look. It can work well in magazine and fashion contexts, premium packaging, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a tall, dramatic silhouette.
The tone is dramatic and refined, projecting an editorial, fashion-oriented elegance with a slightly severe, high-glamour edge. Its contrast and narrow stance feel confident and emphatic, suited to settings where sophistication and impact matter more than softness.
The design appears intended as a modern, display-oriented high-contrast serif that delivers maximum impact in limited horizontal space. It emphasizes verticality, sharp detailing, and a polished editorial voice to signal sophistication and authority.
In longer sample lines the verticals dominate, yielding a strong columnar rhythm; the very thin hairlines and tight apertures suggest it will read best when given adequate size and breathing room. The overall drawing favors crispness and tension over warmth, with consistent contrast across caps, lowercase, and figures.
