A condensed, high-contrast serif with strongly vertical proportions and crisp, hairline horizontals. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with narrow bowls and tight internal counters, creating a compressed rhythm across words. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed to unbracketed in feel, reading as fine, blade-like terminals rather than slabs. Uppercase forms are tall and stately, while lowercase maintains a conventional x-height but stays similarly compressed, giving lines a dense, columnar texture.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, posters, and large-format editorial settings where its contrast and condensed width can create impact without consuming horizontal space. It can also work for branding and packaging that aims for a refined, vintage-leaning display impression, especially in short wordmarks and titling.
The overall tone is dramatic and editorial, with a refined, slightly theatrical presence that recalls fashion and poster typography. Its tall silhouettes and stark contrast project formality and tension, giving headlines a poised, attention-seeking character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum vertical elegance and contrast in a compact width, prioritizing striking silhouette and typographic color for display use over neutral, long-form reading.
At text sizes the hairlines and tight apertures can appear delicate, so the face reads most confidently when given room and size. Numerals follow the same condensed, contrasty construction, reinforcing a consistent, headline-oriented voice.
