A condensed serif with tall proportions and pronounced thick–thin contrast. Strokes show a largely vertical axis, with robust verticals paired with hairline horizontals and delicate joins. Serifs are crisp and tapered, often ending in small triangular or wedge-like terminals that give the contours a subtly flared finish. Counters are narrow and vertical, and the overall rhythm is tight and upright, producing a clean, high-tension texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed proportions and contrast can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle branding, posters, and high-impact editorial titling. It can also work for short pull quotes or subheads where a refined, vertical texture is desired.
The design reads as polished and assertive, combining luxury cues with a slightly theatrical sharpness. Its narrow, high-contrast build lends a poised, runway/editorial tone, while the pointed finishing details add a hint of drama and sophistication.
The font appears intended to deliver a modern, luxury-leaning serif voice in a space-efficient width, emphasizing elegance through high contrast and pointed, flared finishing. Its consistent verticality and crisp terminals suggest a design built for impactful titles and sophisticated branding rather than long-form, small-size reading.
In text, the condensed width and high contrast create strong vertical patterning and striking headline presence. The numerals follow the same tall, compressed logic, with clear contrast and crisp terminals that match the letterforms.
