A condensed, high-contrast text face with slender hairlines and weight concentrated into vertical stems. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with tapered joins and narrow apertures that keep the overall rhythm tight. The lowercase shows a two-storey “a” and “g” with compact bowls, while rounded letters like “o” read vertically stressed. Figures are similarly contrasting, with thin horizontals and pronounced thick strokes that give numerals a polished, engraved feel.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-form text where its contrast and refined details can be appreciated. It works well for magazine layouts, book covers, cultural posters, and branding systems that want a polished, literary voice while keeping a compact line length.
The font conveys a poised, editorial seriousness—stylish and composed rather than casual. Its sharp contrast and narrow stance suggest a cultured, traditional tone with a touch of sophistication suited to premium contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, space-efficient voice by combining a narrow build with pronounced stroke modulation. It aims for a classic, editorial look that feels premium and authoritative without relying on overt ornament.
Uppercase proportions are tall and commanding, and the overall spacing reads disciplined, which helps lines of text look clean and aligned. The strongest visual signature is the consistent vertical emphasis paired with delicate hairlines, producing a bright, high-definition texture at display sizes.
