A crisp, high-contrast text face with tall, compact proportions and a strongly vertical stance. Strokes shift sharply from hairline-thin to weighty stems, with clean joins and pointed, tapered terminals that give many letters a chiseled finish. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are relatively tight, and the overall rhythm feels measured and columnar. Numerals and capitals echo the same contrast and vertical emphasis, producing a consistent, polished texture in lines of text.
Well suited to magazine typography, display headlines, and book-cover titling where high contrast and a tailored silhouette are desirable. It can also support premium branding and poster work, particularly in larger sizes where its fine strokes and sharp terminals remain clear.
The font conveys an editorial, cultured tone—confident and refined rather than casual. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing details suggest formality and a touch of fashion or literary sophistication, making it feel premium and deliberate on the page.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, polished editorial voice: compact proportions for efficient line fitting, paired with striking contrast and refined terminals for a luxurious, high-end impression.
In paragraphs, the narrow letterforms and tight internal shapes create a dark, glossy typographic color, especially when set large. The lowercase shows a traditional construction with pronounced contrast and small, crisp details that reward careful typesetting and comfortable line spacing.
