A tall, condensed serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Stems are weighty and straight, while hairlines and crossbars drop to near-threadlike thickness, creating a sharp, high-fashion rhythm. Serifs are fine and clean with little apparent bracketing, and terminals tend toward crisp, tapered finishes. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters stay tight, and overall spacing reads compact, producing a distinctly vertical, columnar texture in text.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and condensed proportions can shine—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, mastheads, and high-end packaging. It can work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes or section titles when set with generous size, leading, and careful contrast-aware reproduction.
The typeface conveys a polished, dramatic sophistication associated with couture and premium editorial design. Its pronounced contrast and narrow stance feel formal and staged, emphasizing elegance over warmth. The tone is crisp, confident, and intentionally attention-grabbing, especially at display sizes.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary Didone-inspired display voice: narrow, commanding letterforms with razor-thin detailing and strong vertical emphasis. It prioritizes elegance and visual impact, offering a refined, high-contrast texture tailored to premium editorial and branding settings.
In the sample text, the intense contrast creates striking word shapes but also increases sensitivity to size and reproduction: hairlines and delicate joins may visually diminish at smaller sizes or in low-resolution contexts. Numerals and capitals maintain the same tall, refined silhouette, supporting a consistent, highly stylized typographic color across headings and titling.
