This serif has markedly condensed proportions with tall capitals and long ascenders/descenders, creating a strongly vertical silhouette. Strokes are slender with crisp, delicate bracketed serifs and a clean, controlled modulation that reads as refined rather than calligraphic. Curves are narrow and taut (notably in bowls and the ‘0’), while terminals are sharp and understated, giving the texture a light, airy rhythm in continuous text. Spacing appears measured and even, supporting a smooth line of reading despite the tight letter widths.
It performs best in headlines, decks, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography where condensed width and a refined serif texture are advantages. In print-like layouts it can add an upscale, literary tone to branding, invitations, and cultural posters, especially when set with generous leading and careful tracking.
The overall tone is sophisticated and fashion-forward, with a classic editorial polish. Its narrow, high-contrast look suggests luxury and restraint, lending a composed, slightly dramatic presence without feeling ornamental. The result feels suited to high-end contexts where elegance and economy of space matter.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, space-efficient serif for editorial and display settings, combining condensed proportions with delicate detailing for a premium, contemporary-classic voice. Its consistent vertical rhythm and restrained serifs prioritize sophistication and typographic color over overt ornament.
The numerals match the condensed, vertical system and keep a consistent refinement; the ‘1’ is especially slender and the ‘2’ has a flowing, calligraphic curve. Lowercase forms maintain a tidy, bookish cadence, while the tall caps and narrow rounds increase perceived formality in display sizes.
