A condensed, high-contrast serif with tall proportions and pronounced vertical stress. Thick main stems are paired with very fine hairlines and crisp, unbracketed serifs, creating a sharp, chiseled silhouette. Curves are tightly drawn and apertures stay relatively narrow, while the overall rhythm feels vertical and formal; the bold strokes read as solid columns, especially in capitals and figures. Numerals and punctuation follow the same contrast logic, with slim cross-strokes and delicate finishing details.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, magazine mastheads, posters, and high-impact brand marks. It can work well on packaging and labels where a condensed, high-contrast serif adds sophistication and vertical emphasis, particularly when used at larger sizes.
The font conveys a dramatic, upscale tone—confident and attention-grabbing with a distinctly editorial flavor. Its stark contrast and narrow stance suggest fashion, luxury packaging, and classic poster typography, where elegance is expressed through tension between heavy strokes and razor-thin details.
The design appears intended as a modern, condensed interpretation of a high-contrast serif tradition, prioritizing striking vertical rhythm and refined hairline detailing. Its forms are tuned for presence and style over neutrality, aiming to deliver an elegant, dramatic voice in short to medium-length lines.
At text sizes the fine hairlines can visually recede, while display sizes emphasize the refined detailing and striking stripe-like patterning in words. The condensed width helps long headlines fit tightly, but the strong contrast makes it most convincing when given generous size and spacing.
