A condensed, high-contrast serif with a distinctly vertical rhythm and crisp, hairline serifs. Stems are thick and dark while joins and horizontals often collapse into very fine strokes, creating a stark light–dark shimmer in text. Terminals are sharp and pointed, with delicate beaks and tapered ends; curves feel tightly drawn and controlled rather than soft. Proportions are tall and narrow, with compact apertures and a disciplined, upright stance that keeps lines looking sleek and efficient.
Best suited to display settings where its contrast and narrow proportions can be appreciated: magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, luxury branding, and premium packaging. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when generous size and spacing keep the hairlines from visually breaking down.
The overall tone is glamorous and assertive—more runway and masthead than everyday book work. Its extreme contrast and narrow build give it a poised, high-drama elegance that reads as premium, formal, and slightly theatrical. In longer settings it produces a striking, shimmering texture that feels intentionally stylized.
The design appears aimed at delivering a refined, attention-grabbing serif voice by pairing compressed proportions with dramatic thick–thin transitions. It prioritizes elegance and impact, producing a distinctive editorial texture that signals sophistication and hierarchy at a glance.
Capitals carry strong presence with elongated verticals, while the lowercase maintains a relatively traditional structure within a compressed width. Numerals show the same contrast-driven construction, with thin interior strokes and prominent verticals that keep them visually consistent with the letterforms.
