A condensed, high-contrast serif with tall proportions and a pronounced vertical emphasis. Strokes alternate between hairline thins and weighty stems, with narrow apertures and crisp terminals that read as sharp and deliberate. The serifs and joins have a stylized, sculpted quality—more decorative than strictly classical—creating a rhythmic pattern of dark verticals and fine connecting strokes across words.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, packaging, and title treatments where its narrow build and strong contrast can shine. It can work for short pull quotes or subheads when given generous size and spacing; for longer passages, it will read most comfortably at larger text sizes with careful tracking and line spacing.
This typeface projects a poised, theatrical elegance with a slightly eccentric edge. Its stark contrast and elongated proportions feel editorial and fashion-adjacent, while the unconventional serif treatment adds a whiff of Art Deco drama and boutique luxury.
The design appears intended for statement typography where contrast, verticality, and distinctive detailing carry the voice. It prioritizes a bold silhouette and memorable letterforms over neutral text invisibility, aiming to feel refined yet characterful.
In all-caps, the face forms a strong columnar texture with prominent vertical strokes, while the lowercase keeps a similarly tall, refined presence. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven, display-first approach, matching the typeface’s overall sharp, editorial cadence.
