A tall, tightly set serif with pronounced vertical emphasis and sharp thick–thin contrast. Strokes resolve into fine hairlines and delicate wedge-like serifs, producing a crisp, high-fashion rhythm. Curves are narrow and controlled, with small, clean apertures and a generally compact interior, while capitals stand notably slender and statuesque. Numerals and punctuation follow the same refined modulation, maintaining a consistent, polished texture in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where its contrast and narrow footprint can create striking typographic color. It works well in editorial design, fashion and luxury branding, posters, and packaging where a refined, high-impact serif is needed.
The overall tone is sophisticated and polished, leaning toward couture and magazine aesthetics. Its dramatic contrast and taut proportions communicate formality and precision, with a subtle old-world refinement rather than a purely modern geometric feel.
The font appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-contrast serif voice that feels premium and contemporary while drawing on classic serif proportions. Its detailing prioritizes elegance and visual drama, making it a strong choice for display typography and brand-facing applications.
The design favors verticality and tight spacing, creating strong headline presence but a more intense texture in longer settings. Several lowercase forms show a lightly calligraphic inflection in their curves and joins, which adds character without becoming ornate.
