A tightly set, high-contrast serif with a vertical stress and a compact overall footprint. Thick stems taper rapidly into hairline joins and needle-fine cross strokes, while terminals and serifs show a subtle flare that broadens at the ends rather than forming blunt slabs. Curves are polished and slightly taut, with crisp apertures and pointed, wedge-like details that keep counters small and punchy. The lowercase reads as traditional and bookish, with a modest x-height and narrow bowls; the numerals share the same extreme thick–thin rhythm and sculpted finishing.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, cover lines, and short-form display where its contrast and compact width can add impact without taking much horizontal space. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and editorial identities that want a refined, fashion-forward serif voice.
The tone is poised and formal, with a dramatic editorial snap typical of luxury and high-style typography. Its sharp hairlines and flared finishing convey precision and authority, producing an elegant but commanding presence in display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif flavor with flared endings that sharpen the silhouette and add a distinctive finish. Its narrow proportions and disciplined verticality suggest it was drawn to maximize punch and elegance in display typography.
In the sample text the stroke contrast creates a pronounced sparkle and strong vertical rhythm, especially in sequences of capitals and tall lowercase. The thin features are integral to the look, so the face benefits from clean reproduction and enough size to keep the hairlines from visually disappearing.
