A tall, condensed text face with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serif-like terminals that create a sculpted, print-oriented rhythm. Curves are tightly controlled and slightly tapered, with narrow apertures and a compact horizontal footprint that keeps lines dense. Capitals read stately and vertical, while the lowercase shows a traditional, bookish construction with a two-storey a and g, pointed joins, and lively diagonals. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender hairlines and weight concentrated in vertical strokes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and editorial typography where its condensed proportions help fit more characters per line while maintaining a premium look. It can work for branding and packaging that aims for a luxe, classical tone, and for posters where high contrast adds drama at display sizes.
The overall tone is editorial and refined, with a polished, high-fashion sharpness. Its strong contrast and narrow stance lend it a dramatic, authoritative voice that feels suited to sophisticated, formal communication rather than casual UI copy.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, elegant text-and-display voice with strong contrast and a traditional skeleton, prioritizing sophistication and vertical emphasis for editorial and branding contexts.
In the text sample, the condensed spacing and high contrast emphasize word shapes and create a strong page color, but the fine hairlines suggest it will look best where printing or rendering can preserve thin strokes. The italic is not shown; all samples read as roman/upright.
