This is a condensed serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, finely tapered serifs. Vertical stems dominate the rhythm, with hairline horizontals and delicate joins that create a sleek, razor-edged texture in text. The forms are tightly drawn and tall, with small apertures and compact counters that emphasize a streamlined, columnar silhouette. Curves are controlled and elegant, and terminals often finish with a pointed, wedge-like sharpness.
It is well-suited to headlines, deck titles, pull quotes, and magazine-style layouts where a condensed, high-contrast serif can add drama and polish. It can work effectively for luxury branding, beauty and fashion campaigns, posters, and packaging where sharp detail is an asset. In longer passages it will generally perform best at comfortable sizes and with generous spacing to preserve clarity.
The font projects a refined, editorial tone with a distinctly fashion-forward coolness. Its sharp contrast and taut proportions give it a poised, confident voice that feels more glamorous than friendly, and more dramatic than neutral. Overall it reads as polished, high-end, and slightly theatrical.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated, attention-grabbing serif voice while conserving horizontal space. Its high-contrast construction and narrow stance aim for striking typographic color in large sizes, with an upscale, editorial sensibility. The overall system prioritizes elegance, verticality, and a clean, controlled texture.
The numeral set mirrors the same tall, condensed stance, with the “4” showing a notably fine, open construction that reinforces the delicate hairline vocabulary. In the sample text, the overall texture is strongly vertical and rhythmic, with thin cross-strokes and tight spacing creating a dense, stylish typographic color.
