A sharply condensed serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly vertical, axis-driven construction. Stems are strong and straight while joins, bowls, and cross-strokes taper into hairline serifs and needle-thin connections, creating a crisp, high-fashion rhythm. Counters are tight and tall, apertures are narrow, and many forms rely on long verticals with minimal lateral spread; the overall color is dark in the stems with bright, delicate highlights in the thins. Numerals and capitals keep the same tall, slender proportions, and the lowercase follows with relatively restrained x-height and airy ascenders/descenders.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed proportions and dramatic contrast can be appreciated—magazine titles, fashion/editorial headlines, luxury packaging, and high-impact poster typography. It can also work for short pull quotes or subheads when set with generous size and spacing.
The font projects a poised, luxurious tone with a dramatic, runway-ready contrast that feels premium and formal. Its narrow stance and sharp detailing read as stylish and image-conscious, lending a sense of sophistication and intentionality rather than warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, editorial take on a classic high-contrast serif, emphasizing verticality, glamour, and typographic drama. Its condensed build and hairline detailing prioritize striking silhouettes and refined tension over utilitarian text neutrality.
In text, the extreme contrast and tight interior spaces make the letterforms look crisp and refined, but the hairline details become visually prominent and can feel delicate. The overall rhythm is vertical and regimented, with a strong headline presence driven by slim widths and emphatic stems.
