This typeface is a sharply condensed serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Vertical strokes dominate, while curves are tightly drawn and often finish in pointed, blade-like endings that read as subtly flared rather than bracketed. Serifs are minimal and acute, with a chiseled, cut-in feel that reinforces a narrow, high-tension silhouette. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with slim bowls and compact counters, and the overall rhythm is vertical and compressed, producing strong word shapes at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where its condensed proportions and strong contrast can shine—magazine and newspaper headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and titling. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when generous tracking and leading are available.
The tone is poised and theatrical, combining classical refinement with a fashion-forward edge. Its narrow, high-contrast construction feels premium and assertive, lending a sense of luxury and seriousness while staying visually striking and contemporary in large setting.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum elegance and impact in narrow spaces, using high contrast and flared, tapered details to create a distinctive, editorial voice. It aims for a premium, attention-grabbing look that remains rooted in traditional serif typography.
Uppercase forms appear especially statuesque, with tight apertures and decisive, angular finishing details. The numerals follow the same condensed, high-contrast logic, with slender figures and sharp terminals that match the text’s overall tension.
