A condensed, high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis and hairline horizontals. Strokes transition abruptly from thick stems to needle-thin connecting strokes, with crisp wedge-like serifs and sharply tapered terminals. The overall rhythm is tight and upright, with compact letterforms and a controlled, editorial texture. Numerals and capitals follow the same refined contrast, producing a polished, formal color in text.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography where a sleek, upscale tone is desired. It can also work for branding, packaging, and event materials that benefit from a tall, polished serif voice, especially with generous tracking and clean printing.
The design reads as elegant and commanding, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and narrow proportions suggest fashion, luxury, and high-end publishing rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
The font appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif lettering in a condensed footprint, maximizing elegance and impact while keeping layouts compact.
Counters are relatively tight and the thin strokes become very delicate, especially in joins and crossbars, which heightens the refined look but makes the face feel more display-leaning as sizes get smaller. The italic is not shown; the sample stays consistently upright and composed.
