This typeface is a condensed, high-contrast serif with a distinctly vertical axis and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems are tall and straight, while joins and curves snap into fine hairlines, creating a crisp, sharply etched texture. Serifs are small and delicate with minimal bracketing, and the overall rhythm is tightly spaced and vertical, producing an economical, column-friendly silhouette. Numerals and capitals share the same narrow proportions and sharp contrast, maintaining a consistent, polished color in display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine heads, cover lines, posters, and brand marks where its refined contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial subheads, pull quotes, and packaging typography that benefits from a narrow footprint and upscale feel.
The tone is poised and editorial, with a fashion-forward refinement that reads as confident and formal. Its narrow, high-contrast construction conveys sophistication and a hint of drama, leaning toward classic luxury rather than warmth or informality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-fashion editorial voice in a space-saving width, pairing dramatic contrast with disciplined, upright construction. It aims for a clean, contemporary take on traditional high-contrast serifs, prioritizing elegance and impact in display settings.
At larger sizes, the hairlines and fine terminals feel especially precise and sculptural, while the condensed proportions heighten the sense of height and elegance. The design’s crisp contrast and tight rhythm emphasize verticality and can produce a striking, glossy look in headlines.
