A highly condensed serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a strongly vertical rhythm. Stems are bold and straight, while horizontals and connecting strokes collapse into hairlines, producing crisp transitions and a refined, engraved feel. Serifs are sharp and clean, with tapered terminals and minimal bracketting, and curves (C, O, S) maintain narrow, tall proportions with tight counters. The lowercase shows compact, upright forms with short extenders relative to the tall cap presence, and the figures appear equally narrow and display-oriented, matching the intense contrast and verticality.
Best suited for display typography where its narrow width and high contrast can create impact: magazine titles, fashion/editorial headlines, posters, and luxury branding. It also works well in short bursts such as pull quotes, section openers, packaging marks, or event identities where a tall, elegant voice is desired.
The overall tone is poised and high-fashion, with a dramatic, luxury-editorial presence. Its compressed silhouettes and razor-thin hairlines read as confident and sophisticated, leaning toward headline glamour rather than everyday warmth. The texture feels formal and curated, suggesting prestige and a controlled, modern classicism.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-contrast serif look in an extremely space-efficient, vertical format. Its choices emphasize striking silhouettes, sharp detailing, and an upscale editorial texture for attention-grabbing titling and brand-forward statements.
Spacing appears tuned for tight, vertical typesetting, creating strong columnar color and an assertive cadence. The extreme contrast implies that very small sizes or low-resolution settings may reduce hairline visibility, while larger sizes emphasize the font’s crisp details and sculptural strokes.
