A condensed serif with strong vertical emphasis and pronounced thick–thin contrast. Stems are robust and straight while joins and horizontals taper to fine hairlines, creating a crisp, high-clarity rhythm. Serifs read as sharp, lightly bracketed wedges, and counters are relatively tight, reinforcing the compact texture. The lowercase shows restrained, traditional forms with a two-storey a and g, slim entry/exit strokes, and a slightly calligraphic modulation that stays consistent across the set.
Best suited to display sizes where its high contrast and narrow build can create impactful headlines and elegant subheads. It works well for magazine/editorial typography, book covers, and branding that benefits from a refined, compact serif voice, especially when space is limited.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, projecting authority and refinement with a slightly dramatic, fashion-like contrast. Its narrow proportions and sharp finishing details lend a poised, classical feel that suits sophisticated, high-end messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading of elegance and authority in a condensed footprint, combining traditional letter structures with heightened contrast for emphasis and style at larger sizes.
In text settings the dense, vertical texture creates a strong typographic color, with uppercase appearing particularly statuesque. Numerals follow the same contrast and condensed stance, and punctuation/details remain clean and minimal, supporting a polished, print-oriented look.
