A condensed, high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and crisp, hairline serifs. Strokes transition from very thin hairlines to pronounced thick stems, giving letters a sculpted, calligraphic rhythm while remaining upright and controlled. Proportions are tall and narrow, with compact counters and pointed terminals in several forms; capitals feel stately and linear, while the lowercase maintains a traditional text structure with a moderate x-height and clear ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with slender joins and tapered curves that read cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and prominent typographic moments where its contrast and condensed proportions can create impact. It works particularly well for magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, invitations, and poster typography, and can also serve as an accent face alongside a more robust text serif.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, projecting a sense of luxury and formality. Its sharp contrast and condensed silhouette add drama and sophistication, making it feel well-suited to polished, high-end communication rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, conventional serif voice with heightened elegance through narrow proportions and pronounced stroke contrast. It prioritizes poise and visual sophistication, aiming for strong presence in display contexts while retaining familiar text-serif letterforms.
The narrow set width creates a tight typographic color, and the high contrast produces a lively sparkle in text. Curved letters show teardrop-like thinning at joins and delicately finished serifs, emphasizing a classic, fashion-forward character.
