A tightly proportioned serif with strongly compressed letterforms and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes are predominantly vertical with hairline horizontals and crisp, sharp terminals, creating a taut, engraved-like rhythm. Serifs are fine and bracketed-to-minimal in feel, with a consistent, disciplined construction across capitals, lowercase, and figures; bowls and joins stay narrow, and counters are kept compact for a tall, streamlined silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, deck lines, pull quotes, and other display applications where its contrast and compressed proportions can read cleanly. It also fits editorial and branding contexts—particularly fashion, culture, and luxury-oriented layouts—where a sharp, high-style serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is poised and refined, with a slightly theatrical, fashion-forward edge created by the narrow stance and high-contrast sparkle. It reads as confident and formal, leaning toward classic luxury rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif presence in a streamlined, space-saving width, pairing traditional forms with heightened contrast for added sophistication and impact in prominent typography.
In the text sample, the font’s vertical emphasis and hairline connections produce a shimmering texture at larger sizes, while the condensed spacing and small counters can make dense passages feel intense. Numerals follow the same tall, crisp logic, supporting a consistent typographic color in mixed settings.
