A condensed serif with strong vertical emphasis and pronounced stroke contrast. Thick stems pair with very fine hairlines, producing crisp joins and sharp detail in the counters and terminals. Serifs are delicate and clean, with minimal bracketing and a tidy, controlled rhythm that keeps letterforms narrow and tall. Overall spacing reads compact, with a restrained, refined texture that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and high-end packaging where a refined, attention-grabbing serif is desired. It also works well for short pull quotes and titling, especially when set with generous leading and careful tracking to preserve clarity.
The tone is polished and dramatic, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its tall proportions and razor-thin details suggest sophistication and luxury, while the assertive vertical strokes add a confident, theatrical edge.
Designed to deliver maximum elegance and contrast in a compact footprint, balancing classical serif cues with a modern, vertical silhouette. The intention appears to be high-impact display typography that reads luxurious and editorial while remaining controlled and consistent across characters.
Capitals are especially statuesque and formal, and the numerals mirror the same narrow, high-contrast construction for a cohesive voice in mixed typography. The tight width and fine details make it visually striking at display sizes, where the hairlines can be appreciated without breaking up.
