A condensed, high-contrast serif with a distinctly vertical rhythm and crisp, controlled detailing. Strokes alternate between hairline thins and sturdy verticals, while curves are smooth and taut, producing narrow oval counters and a tall, columnar texture. Terminals tend toward sharp, wedge-like finishes with occasional teardrop-style joins (notably in letters like a and g), and the numerals follow the same refined contrast with compact widths. Overall spacing reads tight and efficient, giving text a dense, sophisticated color at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and editorial titling where its contrast and condensed proportions can create impact without taking much horizontal space. It can also work well for branding, packaging, and event posters that want a refined, high-end voice.
The tone is polished and fashion-forward, combining old-style refinement with a contemporary, poster-ready snap. Its narrow stance and dramatic contrast convey luxury, seriousness, and a slightly theatrical editorial energy.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-contrast reading of classic sophistication—optimized for stylish display typography that feels contemporary while retaining traditional sharpness and structure.
Uppercase forms feel especially architectural and vertical, with restrained ornament and minimal curvature beyond essential bowls. Lowercase shapes maintain legibility through open apertures and clear differentiation, while still prioritizing elegance over softness.
