A condensed display serif with extreme thick–thin contrast and hairline, needlelike serifs. Stems are tall and straight, while joins and terminals sharpen into pointed wedges and tapered strokes, producing a crisp, cut-paper silhouette. Curves are narrow and tightly drawn, counters are compact, and the rhythm alternates between thick verticals and razor-thin connecting strokes, giving letters a sculpted, vertical emphasis. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with slender forms and emphatic, angular entry/exit strokes.
Best suited for large-size typography such as headlines, magazine mastheads, fashion branding, and promotional posters where its sharp contrast and condensed proportions can create impact. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling on covers, but is less appropriate for long passages at small sizes due to fine hairlines and tight counters.
The overall tone is assertive and stylish, with a dramatic, couture-like elegance that feels theatrical and attention-seeking. Its sharp contrast and narrow build convey a refined but slightly eccentric personality—more runway and poster than everyday text.
The font appears intended as a high-fashion, high-drama display serif that maximizes vertical presence and contrast. Its construction prioritizes striking silhouettes and sharp finishing over neutrality, aiming to add a distinctive, editorial voice to titles and branding.
The design leans on pronounced verticality and pointed details; several glyphs show triangular, blade-like terminals that heighten the decorative character. The tight interior spaces and delicate hairlines suggest it will read best when given sufficient size and breathing room.
