This serif face is markedly condensed with tall proportions and pronounced thick–thin contrast. Stems are strong and vertical, while hairlines and serifs are extremely fine and sharply tapered, creating a crisp, high-definition silhouette. Curves show a clear vertical stress, and terminals often end in pointed, wedge-like details rather than blunt cuts. The rhythm is narrow and tightly spaced in feel, with compact counters in letters like a, e, and s and a generally vertical, columnar texture in words.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks where a refined, high-contrast look is desired. It can also work for short editorial subheads, but its thin details and tight proportions generally favor larger sizes and high-quality reproduction.
The overall tone is polished and formal, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its sharp hairlines and narrow stance add drama and sophistication, reading as luxurious and fashion-forward while still grounded in traditional serif conventions.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic, refined serif voice: maximizing elegance through condensed proportions, strong verticality, and razor-thin hairlines for impactful, upscale display use.
Figures follow the same condensed, high-contrast logic, with slender joints and fine details that visually echo the punctuation and hairline serifs. The uppercase shows a particularly statuesque presence, making it well-suited to prominent setting where the contrast can read cleanly.
