A condensed serif with pronounced vertical stress and strong thick–thin modulation. Stems are tall and straight, while curves and joining strokes taper sharply, producing crisp, pointed terminals and a chiseled silhouette. Serifs read as fine and bracketed, with narrow proportions and tight internal spaces that emphasize a vertical rhythm. Lowercase forms keep a conventional structure with a moderate x-height, compact bowls, and slender ascenders and descenders; numerals and capitals maintain the same taut, elongated stance.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a tall, condensed serif can add impact without taking much horizontal space. It can also serve branding and packaging that want a classic, upscale voice, especially in short to medium-length settings.
The overall tone is elegant and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial, fashion-forward presence. Its high-contrast drawing and narrow stance add drama and sophistication, suggesting formality and a premium feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading with a condensed, high-contrast twist—prioritizing elegance and vertical emphasis for editorial and display typography.
In text, the condensed width and tight apertures create a dense typographic color, while the sharp tapers and delicate hairlines make the design feel more at home at larger sizes or with generous spacing. The capitals in particular project a strong, poster-like verticality.
