A condensed, high-contrast serif with strongly vertical construction and crisp hairline serifs. Stems are markedly thick against extremely fine connecting strokes, producing a striking light–dark rhythm. The letterforms are tall and narrow with clean, upright posture and a smooth, controlled curve quality; serifs are delicate and largely unbracketed, with sharp, tapered terminals. Counters tend to be tight, and the overall texture reads as sleek and vertical, with occasional calligraphic flicks in descenders and select numerals.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, mastheads, posters, and short pull quotes where its contrast and condensed proportions can command attention. It also fits luxury branding and packaging applications that benefit from a sleek, fashion-forward serif. For longer reading, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous tracking and line spacing.
The tone is polished and dramatic, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its razor-thin details and towering proportions feel luxurious and formal, evoking high-end packaging, magazine mastheads, and refined cultural branding. The contrast adds theatricality, while the narrow stance keeps the voice poised and precise.
The design appears intended to maximize elegance and impact through extreme stroke contrast, tall condensed proportions, and precise hairline serifs. It prioritizes a refined, editorial look and a strong vertical rhythm, aiming for high-end display typography that feels modern yet rooted in classic contrasted serif conventions.
In text settings the font creates a strongly striped, vertical color that emphasizes ascenders and capitals. Very thin hairlines and small internal spaces suggest it will look best when given adequate size and breathing room, especially on bright backgrounds or in print contexts where fine detail can be preserved.
