A very condensed serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered terminals that often flare subtly at the ends of verticals. The capitals are tall and narrow with crisp apexes and hairline cross-strokes, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with compact bowls and tight apertures. Serifs read as fine, bracketed wedges rather than flat slabs, giving strokes a carved, calligraphic finish. Overall spacing and rhythm feel vertical and economical, producing a dense, column-like texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where its narrow footprint and sharp contrast can be appreciated—magazine headlines, luxury branding, book covers, invitations, and poster typography. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when ample size and leading are available, but it is most comfortable as a headline or titling face.
The tone is formal and cultured, with a fashion-and-editorial polish. Its high-contrast detailing and slender proportions convey sophistication and a slightly dramatic, high-end presence, especially at larger sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver an economical, tall typographic voice with a premium, classical character. Its condensed proportions and flared, tapered finishing suggest a focus on elegant display typography that retains a traditional serif sensibility while feeling crisp and modern in layout.
In running text the condensed width and strong contrast create a distinctive, dark-and-light shimmer; the finest hairlines may visually recede at small sizes or on low-resolution output. The numerals match the narrow, vertical emphasis and keep a consistent, refined color alongside capitals.
