A sharply contrasted serif with towering, condensed proportions and a pronounced vertical rhythm. Stems are dark and straight while connecting strokes and serifs taper to fine hairlines, producing crisp silhouettes and strong figure–ground contrast. Serifs are delicate and minimally bracketed, and curves are narrow with an overall drawn, calligraphic-influenced modulation that stays clean and controlled in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and logo/wordmark work where its condensed glamour and crisp contrast can be appreciated. It will also perform well in magazine and cultural editorial settings, luxury branding, and premium packaging when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The tone is sophisticated and editorial, with a dramatic, high-style presence typical of luxury and fashion communication. Its narrow stance and razor-thin details create a sense of precision and exclusivity, reading as formal, curated, and contemporary-classic rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-impact serif voice with strong verticality and a polished editorial texture. It prioritizes visual drama and refined detail for display-forward typography while maintaining a coherent, consistent rhythm across letters and figures.
Caps appear tall and commanding with ample vertical emphasis, while lowercase maintains a steady, readable texture at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same condensed, high-contrast logic, matching the type’s refined, display-leaning personality.
