A condensed, high-contrast text face with crisp, tapered terminals and a distinctly sculpted silhouette. Strokes shift quickly from hairline-thin to solid verticals, creating a strong vertical rhythm and bright, open counters. The forms are upright and controlled, with narrow proportions and slightly flared endings that read like restrained wedge-serifs; joins feel smooth and bracketed rather than abrupt. Numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, polished texture, while lowercase shows compact bowls and tight apertures that emphasize a sleek, editorial color.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, fashion and culture layouts, and premium branding where a sharp, high-contrast texture is desirable. It can add sophistication to posters and packaging, particularly when set with generous spacing and printed at sizes that preserve the hairline details. It works best as a display or titling face rather than dense, small-size continuous text.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, with a refined, high-fashion sensibility. Its contrast and narrow build give it a dramatic, headline-ready presence while still feeling traditional and composed rather than playful. The result reads as premium, formal, and slightly theatrical in a classic print-oriented way.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, condensed look with strong contrast and a polished, contemporary-classic voice. Its narrow set and dramatic modulation suggest a focus on impactful titles and brand moments, balancing traditional elegance with a crisp, modern finish.
In the sample text, the strong thick–thin modulation and tight widths produce a dark, punchy typographic color at larger sizes, with very fine hairlines that become visually delicate as size decreases. Curved letters show pronounced stress, and the punctuation and numerals match the same sharp, tailored finish, reinforcing a cohesive, display-leaning texture.
