A condensed serif with tall proportions, crisp vertical emphasis, and fine hairline detailing. Strokes alternate between slender stems and sharper, thinner connections, producing a clean, high-contrast rhythm without heavy weight. Serifs are small and sharp, and many joins feel precise rather than soft, giving the letterforms a neat, carved look. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height relative to the long ascenders and descenders, while numerals appear equally narrow and vertically oriented for consistent color in setting.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine heads, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, posters, and title treatment where its narrow footprint and high-contrast sparkle can be showcased. It can also work for short pull quotes or subheads when generous spacing and size support its delicate details.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a runway/editorial sensibility. Its slender silhouettes and hairline accents read as refined and slightly dramatic, lending a premium, curated feel to headlines and short statements.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, space-efficient serif voice: tall, narrow forms with crisp serifs and delicate hairlines that create an elegant editorial presence and a distinctive vertical rhythm.
The condensed width and tall extenders create a strong vertical cadence and tight texture, which can look striking at display sizes but may feel dense in longer passages. Punctuation and figures follow the same narrow, upright styling, helping mixed content keep an even, stylish cadence.
