A condensed serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, finely tapered serifs. Stems are predominantly vertical with a disciplined, upright posture, while rounded forms show a strong vertical stress and tight apertures that keep the overall texture compact. Terminals are sharp and controlled, and the letterforms maintain a consistent, classical rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving text a sleek, compact color.
Well suited to editorial headlines and subheads where a compact measure and refined contrast are desirable. It also fits book covers, formal invitations, and premium packaging or brand lockups that benefit from a narrow, elegant serif voice while maintaining a conventional text-serif structure.
The font conveys a polished, high-end tone—poised and traditional rather than playful. Its narrow stance and high contrast read as sophisticated and fashion-adjacent, with a slightly dramatic, display-leaning elegance even in running text.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, conventional serif reading experience with a more fashion-forward, space-saving proportion. Its high contrast and tight width suggest an emphasis on sophistication and impact, especially for editorial and branding contexts.
In paragraphs the tight width creates efficient line fitting and a strong vertical cadence. The thin hairlines and small details (serifs and joins) suggest it will look best when given adequate size and reproduction quality, where its contrast and crisp edges can remain clear.
