A tightly condensed serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a distinctly vertical rhythm. Strokes resolve into crisp, hairline serifs and terminals, with sharp joins and minimal bracketing. Counters are narrow and tall, ascenders and capitals feel elongated, and the overall texture reads as a clean, high-contrast stripe across a line of text. Numerals and punctuation follow the same tall, slender proportions, keeping a consistent, finely etched look.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and titling where its tall proportions and sharp contrast can be appreciated. It works particularly well for fashion and editorial layouts, luxury branding, and posters that need a refined, high-impact serif voice without taking up much horizontal space.
The font conveys a polished, high-end tone with a slightly dramatic, poster-ready presence. Its narrow proportions and razor-like details suggest luxury, runway/editorial styling, and a classic yet assertive sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-contrast serif look in a highly condensed footprint, optimizing for dramatic vertical emphasis and a premium, editorial character in display typography.
In the text sample, spacing and sidebearings appear tuned for compact setting, creating a dense, vertical cadence. The thinnest hairlines are very delicate, while the heavy stems remain crisp and controlled, giving the face a striking contrast that reads best at display-oriented sizes.
