A condensed display serif with strong vertical emphasis and razor-thin hairlines contrasted against weighty stems. Serifs are sharp and clean, with minimal bracketing and crisp terminals that create a precise, cut-paper feel. Curves are tightly controlled, counters are relatively compact, and the overall rhythm is tall and stately; the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height but reads narrow, with distinctly thin connecting strokes. Numerals and capitals present a consistent, sculpted silhouette suited to large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where its contrast and condensed proportions can create impact without consuming width. It fits magazine and fashion branding, poster typography, and other premium editorial layouts that benefit from a formal, high-drama serif voice.
The tone is refined and dramatic, leaning into a high-fashion and editorial sensibility. Its severe contrast and narrow proportions convey authority and luxury, with a slightly theatrical, headline-forward presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast display serif for impactful typography—combining condensed economy with elegant hairlines and crisp serifs to achieve an upscale, editorial look.
In text settings the thin hairlines and tight interior spaces become a defining feature, giving the face a shimmering, engraved look. The narrow set and strong verticality create efficient headlines, while the most delicate strokes suggest it will look best where reproduction is clean and sizes are generous.
