A tall, tightly set serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, tapered terminals. Vertical stems are dominant and straight, while curves are sharply drawn with narrow apertures and compact counters, reinforcing the condensed rhythm. Serifs read as fine, bracketless wedges and hairlines stay delicate, giving the letterforms a sculpted, high-fashion look. Numerals and capitals keep the same narrow proportions and disciplined spacing, producing a consistent, vertical texture in running text.
This font is well suited to editorial typography, fashion and lifestyle branding, and high-impact headlines where a condensed footprint is helpful. It can also work for pull quotes, section openers, and poster titling that calls for a refined, high-contrast serif texture.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, with a slightly dramatic, “couture editorial” presence. Its refined contrast and compressed stance feel formal and premium, suited to messaging that benefits from precision and polish rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver an elevated, contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: narrow, vertical, and polished, optimized for expressive display and editorial settings where elegance and economy of space are priorities.
In text, the narrow width and sharp contrast create a strong vertical cadence and a distinctive sparkle from the hairlines. The design favors clarity at display sizes, where the thin strokes and tapered details can read cleanly without crowding.
