A condensed serif with striking thick–thin contrast and a strongly vertical posture. Strokes taper into flared, wedge-like terminals rather than bracketed serifs, producing crisp entry/exit points and a carved, calligraphic finish. Proportions are tall and narrow with a compact footprint, while round letters stay tightly drawn; counters are small and the overall rhythm is vertical and regular. In text, the face maintains a consistent dark/light cadence, with delicate hairlines and confident main stems giving it a sharp, high-fashion silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and short passages where its condensed width and high contrast create impact. It works well for magazine and fashion branding, premium packaging, posters, and refined titling where a vertical, elegant rhythm is desirable. For longer reading, it benefits from generous size and leading to preserve clarity around the fine hairlines and tight counters.
The tone is sophisticated and slightly theatrical, combining editorial polish with a dramatic, high-contrast sparkle. It reads as modern-luxe rather than rustic, projecting confidence and ceremony without feeling ornamental in the classical sense.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, condensed serif voice with a distinctive flared-terminal signature—maximizing elegance and contrast in limited horizontal space while keeping letterforms clean and editorial.
The condensed build and thin connecting strokes make spacing feel taut and upright, emphasizing columns and headlines. Numerals share the same contrast and narrow set, supporting coherent typographic color in mixed text.
