A tall, condensed serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and sharp, hairline terminals. Strokes are largely vertical with a steady rhythm, while curves show a clear vertical stress and tight apertures. Serifs are fine and neatly bracketed to unbracketed in feel depending on the join, giving a crisp, engraved-like finish. Lowercase forms are narrow and tidy with compact bowls and relatively restrained ascenders/descenders, producing a clean, columnar texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other display settings where its contrast and narrow width create a refined vertical emphasis. It also fits luxury branding and editorial layouts that benefit from a sophisticated, high-contrast serif texture.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a fashion/editorial sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and slim silhouettes feel formal and curated, lending a composed, high-end voice rather than a casual one.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif look in a condensed footprint, maximizing elegance and impact while maintaining a conventional reading structure. It prioritizes striking contrast and a sleek silhouette for contemporary editorial and branding applications.
The numerals and capitals emphasize height and elegance, with slender joins and delicate curves that reward larger sizes. At smaller sizes, the hairlines and tight interior spaces can become visually fragile, so spacing and size choice will strongly affect clarity.
