A tall, tightly set serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline-like serifs. The design emphasizes vertical strokes and narrow counters, producing a compact rhythm and a distinctly vertical, high-contrast texture in text. Serifs are fine and generally bracketed, with clean joins and sharp terminals that keep letterforms precise at display sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same elongated proportions, reinforcing an overall sleek, condensed silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial display settings where its condensed proportions and contrast can add polish and hierarchy. It also works well for premium branding, packaging, and poster typography that benefits from a tall, elegant presence—especially when used with generous leading and carefully managed tracking.
The overall tone is poised and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its narrow, high-contrast build reads as refined and slightly dramatic, evoking classic print typography and fashion-forward sophistication rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice in a space-saving, high-impact form. By combining tall proportions with sharp contrast and fine serifs, it aims to provide a sophisticated display texture that feels traditional yet tailored for modern editorial layouts.
The narrow set and strong contrast create a dark–light striping effect in running lines, making spacing and line length feel especially influential on readability. Round letters stay relatively tight, while straighter forms feel stately and columnar, helping headings align into clean vertical blocks.
