A sharply condensed display serif with pronounced vertical stress and extreme thick–thin modulation. Stems are tall and columnar, while horizontal strokes and serifs drop to hairline weight, producing a crisp, engraved look. Serifs are fine and relatively unbracketed, with pointed, needle-like terminals that emphasize the narrow proportions. Counters are tight and vertically oriented, and the overall rhythm is dense, with a strong black-and-white flicker at text sizes. Numerals follow the same condensed, high-contrast logic, reading as tall figures with minimal sidebearing presence.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and large-format editorial settings where its condensed width and high contrast can deliver maximum presence. It can work well for fashion, luxury branding, and packaging titling, and for poster typography that benefits from a tall, emphatic voice. For longer text, it is most effective when used sparingly as a display accent rather than as a primary reading face.
The font projects a dramatic, high-fashion tone—confident, intense, and slightly theatrical. Its razor-thin details and tall proportions suggest luxury editorial typography and classic headline styling, with a hint of vintage poster or engraved signage energy.
The typeface appears designed to deliver maximum drama in minimal horizontal space, combining condensed proportions with refined hairline detailing. Its overall construction prioritizes elegance and impact for display typography, leveraging vertical stress and pointed serifs to create a distinctive, attention-grabbing texture.
The design’s impact relies on its delicate hairlines and compact internal spaces; this makes it especially striking at larger sizes where the thin strokes stay visible. The narrow set and strong vertical emphasis create a commanding block of text, while the pointed serifs and terminals add a crisp, cutting finish.
