A tall, compressed display serif with clean, sharply controlled curves and a consistent, sculpted rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions into flared, wedge-like terminals rather than hairline serifs, giving the letters a carved, tailored feel. Rounds are narrow and vertically oriented, counters stay open, and many joins resolve in subtle points or tapered endings that keep silhouettes crisp. The lowercase mixes compact, sturdy bowls with a single-storey a and g, a compact ear on r, and a distinctive t with a left-leaning crossbar, reinforcing a deliberate, designed texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, magazine settings, and branding systems that want a narrow footprint with a refined, contemporary voice. It can work in short paragraphs or pull quotes at comfortable sizes where its tapered endings and distinctive lowercase details remain clear.
The overall tone is contemporary and editorial, combining elegance with a slightly theatrical, poster-like presence. Its tall proportions and sharpened terminals feel confident and polished, suggesting fashion, culture, and design-forward branding rather than neutral utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, condensed display serif with a fashion/editorial sensibility—prioritizing striking vertical silhouettes, crisp terminal shaping, and a controlled contrast profile for impactful typography in titles and brand statements.
Caps read particularly strong in headings due to their verticality and steady spacing, while the numerals maintain the same condensed stance and crisp finishing. The sample text shows a lively grayscale at larger sizes, where the tapered terminals and pointed joins become a key part of the personality.
