A condensed serif with pronounced verticality and strong thick–thin modulation. The letterforms rely on long straight stems, compact bowls, and fine, tapered serifs that read as sharp and hairline-like at display sizes. Curves are narrowly drawn and vertically stressed, giving counters an elongated, oval feel, while terminals and joins remain clean and controlled for a composed rhythm across words and lines.
Well suited to magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and poster typography where a tall, refined voice is needed. It can also support branding systems seeking a classic, premium serif character, especially when space is limited and a narrow headline style helps fit more content per line.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, with a fashion- and publishing-oriented polish. Its tall proportions and crisp detailing convey formality and restraint, producing a luxe, high-end impression that feels more boutique than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, space-efficient serif for display and editorial settings, balancing classic serif cues with a distinctly vertical, condensed silhouette. Its high-contrast detailing and crisp serifs prioritize sophistication and impact over rugged, everyday text neutrality.
The condensed construction creates a tight horizontal footprint and a strong columnar texture in text. Numerals and punctuation follow the same narrow, high-contrast logic, reinforcing a consistent, disciplined color when set in headlines or short passages.
