A condensed serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly vertical rhythm. Stems are dark and straight, while hairlines and serifs are extremely fine, producing sharp, crisp joins and a brittle, etched texture. Curves are taut and narrow, counters are tight, and many lowercase forms show small calligraphic inflections (notably in the ear/terminals of r, a, and g). Numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast logic, with delicate curves and thin entry strokes.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine and editorial layouts, fashion branding, posters, and pull quotes where its condensed silhouette and dramatic contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads or titling at moderate sizes, especially when generous tracking and leading are available.
The overall tone is refined and assertive: elegant in its hairline detail, but also slightly severe and theatrical due to the compressed proportions and stark contrast. It evokes classic editorial typography—poised, formal, and intentionally attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, space-efficient take on a high-contrast serif: maximizing elegance and impact through condensed proportions, vertical emphasis, and razor-fine detailing. Its letterforms prioritize a distinctive, high-fashion editorial presence over neutral, all-purpose text texture.
Because the design concentrates weight in strong verticals and reduces horizontal strokes to hairlines, the texture can appear stripy and intense in dense settings. The narrow proportions help fit long headings into limited space, while the sharp serifs and tight apertures give it a distinctive, contemporary edge.
