This typeface is a refined display serif with tall proportions, crisp hairline serifs, and pronounced contrast between thick vertical stems and very thin connecting strokes. The design favors a narrow set width and a vertical, upright stance, giving lines of text a compact, column-like rhythm. Serifs are sharp and delicate with minimal bracketing, while curves (as in C, G, O, and S) show a controlled, slightly calligraphic modulation. The lowercase presents a relatively tall x-height with slim, straight-sided forms and clean joins; numerals echo the same contrast and narrow build for a consistent texture in mixed settings.
Best used for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display roles where a narrow footprint and high refinement are advantageous. It also fits luxury-oriented branding, magazine and lookbook typography, and poster work that benefits from a tall, elegant voice without occupying much horizontal space.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, balancing restraint with a hint of drama from the extreme contrast and fine detailing. It reads as modern-classic and fashion-forward, suited to settings where sophistication and precision are part of the message.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated, space-efficient serif voice with a strong vertical rhythm and a polished, contemporary editorial feel. Its extreme contrast and hairline detailing prioritize elegance and impact over utilitarian, small-size text robustness.
Because the hairlines are very fine and the spacing is tight, the strongest results come from generous sizes and comfortable line spacing, where the delicate serifs and contrast can remain clear. In longer passages at small sizes, the thin connections and terminals may appear fragile compared to the bold verticals, making it better suited to display typography than dense text.
