A tightly condensed serif with pronounced vertical emphasis and extreme thick–thin contrast. Stems are hairline-thin in places and flare into sharp, wedge-like terminals, creating a crisp, almost blade-edged silhouette. Curves are narrow and taut, with small counters and a steady, upright rhythm; capitals feel tall and stately, while the lowercase maintains a relatively tall x-height for its narrow set. Numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender joins and pointed endings that keep the overall texture bright and refined.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display typography, pull quotes, and poster titling where condensed width helps fit long words without sacrificing impact. It can also work for branding, packaging, and event materials that want a refined, high-contrast serif voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is sophisticated and theatrical, balancing classical serif formality with a fashion-forward, attention-grabbing sharpness. Its narrow proportions and flashing contrast give it a poised, high-end feel suited to display settings where elegance and tension are desirable.
The design appears intended as a modern, condensed display serif that references classic high-contrast letterforms while pushing them into a sharper, more graphic direction. Its proportions prioritize vertical elegance and space efficiency, aiming for maximum presence in tight columns and prominent titles.
Because of the extreme contrast and narrow spacing, the texture can become stripey at smaller sizes or on low-resolution output; it reads best when given room to breathe and when set with comfortable tracking. The design’s pointed terminals and tight counters make it especially striking in title case and short lines where the vertical cadence can shine.
