A tall, condensed serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and a pronounced vertical axis. Serifs are sharp and hairline, often tapering into needle-like terminals, while stems remain clean and straight, creating a crisp, high-fashion rhythm. Curves are tightly drawn and elegant, with narrow bowls and compact counters; the overall texture is light but emphatic due to the contrast. Numerals and capitals share the same elongated proportions, giving lines a distinctly vertical, columnar appearance.
Best suited to display typography where its condensed silhouette and sharp contrast can define the page: magazine heads, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster titles. It can work for short subheads and pull quotes when set with comfortable spacing, but it is most convincing when used as a statement face rather than for extended small-text reading.
The tone is sleek and aspirational, evoking fashion publishing and luxury branding. Its dramatic contrast and tight width feel modern-classic, with a poised, gallery-like restraint that reads as premium and intentional. The overall impression is confident and stylish rather than cozy or informal.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, space-saving display serif with a strong editorial personality. By combining elongated proportions with hairline serifs and vertical stress, it aims to communicate sophistication and drama while maintaining a clean, contemporary finish.
In the samples, wide letterspacing and generous leading help the thin horizontals and fine serifs stay clear, while tighter settings make the texture more intense and display-oriented. The design’s narrow apertures and hairline details favor clean reproduction and benefit from sufficient size and contrast against the background.
