This serif features tall, condensed letterforms with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, hairline serifs. Stems are largely vertical with a steady rhythm, while curves show a clear vertical stress and finely tapered terminals. The overall construction feels precise and disciplined, with narrow sidebearings and compact counters that keep words tightly knit. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, upright logic, reading cleanly while maintaining the typeface’s slender silhouette.
It suits editorial headlines, magazine typography, and cover work where a refined, condensed serif can add authority and style. It can also work for formal collateral such as invitations or branding wordmarks, especially when space is limited and a tall, elegant tone is desired.
The tone is poised and upscale, combining classical bookish manners with a sharper, fashion-forward edge. Its narrow, high-contrast profile adds drama without becoming ornamental, giving text a polished, slightly formal presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation expressed through a slimmer, more emphatic silhouette, pairing classical proportions with heightened contrast for a sophisticated, space-efficient voice.
In running text the tight width and strong contrast create a distinctive texture, with vertical strokes forming a pronounced striped cadence. Uppercase shapes feel stately and controlled, while the lowercase retains a traditional, readable skeleton with delicate finishing details.
