A refined serif with extreme vertical proportions and pronounced stroke modulation. The design relies on thin hairlines paired with thicker vertical stems, producing a crisp, high-drama rhythm. Serifs are delicate and sharp, and the overall construction is clean and upright with compact sidebearings that make words stack tightly. Round letters like O/Q are narrow and oval, while diagonals in V/W/X feel taut and controlled; lowercase forms remain slim with tall ascenders and small, precise details.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titling, fashion and culture branding, posters, and refined logotypes where its vertical elegance can read as intentional and premium. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when set with ample size and spacing to preserve the thin details.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a runway/editorial sensibility. Its tight, sculpted forms and sharp contrasts give it a slightly theatrical, vintage-leaning sophistication that feels more “display” than everyday text.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif voice: condensed, polished, and contrast-driven for impact in titles and branding rather than long-form comfort reading.
In the samples, the high contrast and narrow proportions create strong vertical striping, especially in all-caps lines. Small punctuation and thin joins can appear delicate, so the face benefits visually from generous leading and careful sizing to keep hairlines from collapsing.
