A highly condensed serif with pronounced verticality and strong thick–thin modulation. Stems are dominant and dark, while hairlines are extremely fine, creating a crisp, high-definition texture. Terminals and serifs show subtle flaring rather than blocky slabs, and many joins resolve into sharp wedges, giving the outlines a chiseled, sculptural finish. Counters are compact and apertures are controlled, producing a tight rhythm that stays elegant at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other display settings where its condensed proportions and high contrast can create impact. It works especially well for editorial and fashion contexts, as well as premium branding and packaging where a refined, vertical typographic color is desirable. For longer passages, it will favor larger sizes and generous line spacing to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The tone is sophisticated and dramatic, balancing classic serif formality with a contemporary, fashion-forward tension. Its narrow build and razor hairlines suggest precision and luxury, making the overall voice assertive without feeling heavy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum elegance and presence in minimal horizontal space, using extreme contrast and subtly flared endings to keep the condensed structure feeling upscale and crafted. It prioritizes a striking, editorial rhythm and a polished silhouette for modern display typography.
Spacing appears deliberately economical, with narrow sidebearings that help words form tall, continuous vertical patterns. Round forms (like O/C) feel compressed and taut, and the overall system maintains a consistent contrast model that reads as polished and intentional in text lines.
