A condensed, high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and crisp, unbracketed hairline serifs. Stems are dark and straight while horizontals and curves resolve into extremely fine hairlines, producing a sharp, glossy rhythm in text. Capitals are tall and narrow with tight internal space, and the overall color alternates between bold verticals and delicate connecting strokes. Lowercase forms keep a traditional structure with clear two-storey shapes where expected, narrow apertures, and compact counters; numerals follow the same contrasty, display-oriented construction.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, and statement typography where its contrast and condensed proportions can shine. It works well for magazine layouts, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and posters that need a refined but attention-grabbing voice.
The font projects an editorial, fashion-forward sophistication with a distinctly dramatic edge. Its razor-thin details and condensed posture read as luxurious and assertive, suited to high-impact typography rather than casual body text.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-fashion serif look in a compressed width, maximizing impact and elegance in limited horizontal space while preserving a traditional, vertically stressed serif vocabulary.
In the sample paragraphs, the dense spacing and thin hairlines create a crisp texture that rewards generous sizes and clean reproduction. The ampersand and punctuation carry the same finely cut detailing, reinforcing a consistent, formal tone across the set.
