A tall, tightly set serif with pronounced vertical proportions and strong thick–thin modulation. Stems read as straight and disciplined, with delicate hairline serifs and terminals that stay crisp rather than bracketed or soft. Counters are narrow and vertically oriented, and the overall rhythm is even and columnar, giving text a clean, architectural texture. Numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast logic, keeping a consistent color and stance alongside the letters.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and display typography where its tall proportions and sharp contrast can read cleanly—magazine mastheads, book covers, luxury branding, and poster typography. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when a refined, space-saving serif is needed.
The tone is elegant and formal, with a composed, editorial polish. Its narrow, high-contrast build and sharp details suggest sophistication and a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward presence rather than warmth or casualness.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic serif voice in a space-efficient, vertically elegant form, pairing traditional structure with a more dramatic contrast and height. Its consistent, disciplined rhythm suggests an intention toward polished editorial and branding settings where a sophisticated, condensed texture is desirable.
The design leans on vertical emphasis throughout, producing a strong upward pull and a refined page color at larger sizes. In continuous text, the condensed letterforms create an efficient line length and a distinctive, sleek texture.
