A sharply contrasted serif with a distinctly condensed footprint and tall, columnar proportions. Strokes alternate between substantial vertical stems and extremely thin hairlines, with pronounced vertical stress and crisp, delicate serifs. Curves are taut and controlled, counters are compact, and the overall rhythm is narrow and upright, with long ascenders and deep, stylized descenders that add a slightly calligraphic finish.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and condensed rhythm can create impact—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, title treatments, and sophisticated packaging. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes when set with generous size and line spacing, but is less appropriate for long-form text at small sizes due to its fine hairlines and tight interior spaces.
The tone is sophisticated and theatrical, pairing luxury-model elegance with a slightly eccentric, boutique flair. Its sharp contrast and narrow stance create a high-drama, runway/editorial feel that reads as formal and curated rather than casual.
Likely designed to deliver an ultra-refined, high-fashion serif voice in a space-saving width, using extreme contrast and vertical stress to maximize elegance and presence. The distinctive terminals and descenders suggest an intention to feel bespoke and editorial rather than purely utilitarian.
Spacing appears tight and the thin connecting strokes become visually fragile at smaller sizes, especially in complex shapes and punctuation. Several letters feature distinctive terminals and descender treatments that give the texture a lively, characterful cadence in display settings.
