A delicate serif with extremely condensed proportions and pronounced thick–thin contrast. Stems are predominantly vertical with fine hairline serifs and tapered, sharply finished terminals, creating a crisp, linear rhythm. Curves are narrow and controlled, with compact bowls and tight apertures, and the overall spacing appears measured to maintain clarity despite the slender widths. Numerals and capitals share the same tall, columnar stance, reinforcing a consistent, refined texture in display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine mastheads, and fashion-oriented layouts where a refined, high-contrast serif can carry a lot of personality in a small footprint. It also fits luxury branding, posters, and invitation-style typography, especially when used at larger sizes where the hairlines can remain crisp.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a fashion and literary sensibility. Its razor-thin details and compressed silhouette give it a dramatic, high-end feel that reads as precise and cultivated rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated, space-efficient serif voice by combining condensed proportions with a dramatic contrast system. It aims to project elegance and authority in display contexts while keeping a controlled, consistent rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
The condensed construction emphasizes verticality, and the hairline horizontals become a defining feature in letters like E, F, and T. In text samples the face maintains a smooth baseline flow, but the sharp contrast and narrow forms suggest it will look best when given generous size and comfortable line spacing.
