A condensed, high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate, with minimal bracketing, creating crisp terminals and a distinctly vertical, poster-like rhythm. Round letters show pronounced thick–thin modulation and a relatively tight internal aperture, while diagonals (notably in V/W/X) read as slender, blade-like strokes. Overall proportions are tall and compact, with small counters and a clean, upright posture that emphasizes a refined, engraved look.
Best suited for headlines, magazine mastheads, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks where high contrast and condensed proportions add impact. It can also work for short subheads or deck text in editorial layouts, especially when set with generous tracking and comfortable line spacing.
The tone is formal and elevated, with a dramatic, fashion-forward snap that feels at home in high-end editorial settings. Its stark contrast and tight width suggest prestige and seriousness, with a classic, slightly theatrical flair suited to attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-contrast serif voice in a compact width, optimizing for dramatic display typography and elegant editorial hierarchy. It balances bold vertical structure with hairline detailing to create a refined, attention-commanding silhouette.
In text, the heavy verticals create a strong striping effect, while the hairlines and serifs add sparkle and detail at larger sizes. The narrow set can pack headlines efficiently, but the fine connecting strokes and small counters suggest it will look most confident when given enough size and breathing room.
