A condensed, high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems are weighty and rectangular while hairlines and serifs resolve into very fine, crisp strokes with minimal bracketing, creating a sharp, engraved feel. Proportions are tall with compact bowls and relatively tight sidebearings; curves are controlled and slightly flattened where they meet heavy stems. Numerals follow the same contrasted logic, with stout verticals and delicate linking strokes for a cohesive text and display rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers, pull quotes, and branding where contrast and a tall silhouette can carry the layout. It can also work for premium packaging and identity systems when set with generous spacing and ample size to preserve the fine details.
The font conveys a polished, high-fashion editorial tone—confident, refined, and intentionally dramatic. Its stark contrast and tight, vertical rhythm create a sense of prestige and formality, with a slightly theatrical edge in large sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-contrast serif voice in a condensed footprint, maximizing elegance and impact for editorial and brand-led typography. Its strong vertical rhythm and razor hairlines suggest a focus on display clarity and visual drama rather than long-form neutrality.
In continuous text the dark verticals form strong stripes, while the hairlines add sparkle at larger sizes; this makes it visually striking but sensitive to size and reproduction conditions. The lowercase shows compact apertures and compact joins, reinforcing the condensed, headline-oriented cadence.
