A sharply condensed serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a strong vertical rhythm. Stems are dominant and nearly monoline in their thick parts, while connecting strokes drop to fine hairlines, creating a crisp, sparkling texture. Serifs are small, sharp, and mostly unbracketed, with pointed terminals and occasional teardrop-like finishing on curved forms. Counters are tight and tall, and the overall geometry favors straight-sided bowls and narrow apertures, producing an assertive, columnar look in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and narrow proportions can be appreciated—magazine headlines, mastheads, fashion branding, posters, and pull quotes. It can also work for short, airy subheads or titling where generous size and good reproduction preserve the hairline details.
The font projects a polished, high-end tone with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward flavor. Its extreme refinement and tall proportions feel formal and poised, with a touch of theatrical contrast that reads as luxurious and attention-seeking in display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif glamour, prioritizing verticality, sharp finishing, and a sophisticated silhouette for impactful titling rather than everyday text settings.
In the sample text, the condensed spacing and hairline details create a striking headline color but can become delicate at smaller sizes or in dense passages. Numerals follow the same tall, refined logic, matching the typeface’s vertical emphasis and sleek silhouette.
