A condensed, high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and razor-thin hairlines against heavy main stems. Serifs are sharp and delicate, often appearing as fine wedges or hairline feet, creating a crisp, engraved feel. Curves are taut and clean, with narrow apertures and an overall tall rhythm; the lowercase shows a relatively modest x-height with prominent ascenders and descenders. The figures and capitals maintain a polished, display-oriented refinement, with tight sidebearings and a distinctly vertical posture.
Best used for display typography such as magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and striking editorial headlines. It can also work for short subheads, pull quotes, and packaging where refined contrast and a narrow footprint are desirable.
The tone is elegant and attention-seeking, channeling runway/editorial sophistication with a slightly theatrical, high-drama presence. Its stark contrast and slim proportions feel luxurious and formal, suited to statements rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-contrast serif look with a condensed, modern editorial stance—maximizing elegance and impact through extreme stroke contrast, vertical emphasis, and finely cut serifs.
At larger sizes the hairlines read as precise and jewel-like, while at smaller sizes the extreme contrast and tight spacing can make details feel brittle or crowded. The overall texture is bright and vertical, producing a strong, high-end headline color on the page.
