This serif typeface is built around tall, condensed proportions and a distinctly vertical rhythm. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with razor-thin hairlines and delicate, bracketed serifs that feel crisp rather than heavy. The capitals are narrow and statuesque, while the lowercase keeps a compact x-height with long ascenders and descenders, giving text a sleek, elongated silhouette. Curves are taut and controlled, counters are relatively tight, and spacing appears measured to maintain an even, columnar texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and editorial titling where its condensed width and high-contrast detailing can read as intentional and premium. It can also support brand marks, packaging, and formal stationery when set with comfortable leading and not pushed to very small sizes.
The overall tone is polished and composed, with a fashion/editorial sophistication. Its narrow stance and sharp contrast suggest luxury, restraint, and formality, evoking classic print typography in a modern, pared-back way.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif voice in a space-saving, vertically oriented form. Its emphasis on contrast, fine serifs, and tall proportions points toward elegant display typography that maintains a disciplined text rhythm in short to medium settings.
The numerals mirror the same condensed, high-contrast construction, producing a consistent color alongside uppercase headings. In sample text, the narrow set and fine hairlines create a light, airy texture that favors clean reproduction and generous line spacing for best results.
