A tightly condensed serif with tall proportions, long ascenders and descenders, and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes show clear but not extreme contrast, with tapered hairlines and sturdier stems that create a crisp, polished texture. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed, often ending in pointed, wedge-like terminals; curves are narrow and controlled, and counters are compact, especially in round letters. The overall spacing feels economical, producing a dense, column-like color that reads distinctly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, posters, and title treatments where its condensed silhouette and crisp serifs can create strong hierarchy in limited space. It can also work for branding and packaging that aims for a refined, fashion-forward feel, especially when paired with simpler supporting text.
The font conveys an elegant, editorial tone with a slightly theatrical edge. Its narrow, high-contrast posture suggests sophistication and formality while maintaining a contemporary sharpness that feels suited to style-led design.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving serif that still feels luxurious and expressive, combining classic text-serif cues with a more elongated, display-oriented silhouette for high-impact typographic layouts.
Distinctive, elongated forms in letters like A, Q, and W emphasize height and compression, and the numerals follow the same narrow, vertical logic. The condensed widths and compact counters increase impact but can reduce comfort in long passages at small sizes without generous leading.
