A refined serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and a distinctly condensed, vertical build. Stems are strong and straight while joins and curves resolve into delicate hairlines, producing crisp, high-contrast silhouettes. Serifs are small and sharp, contributing to a clean, precise rhythm with generous internal white space and taut letterfit. The figures match the same elegant tension, with tall forms and fine terminals that echo the text’s narrow, elongated proportions.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and prominent display settings where its contrast and condensed proportions can shine. It works well for fashion and beauty layouts, luxury branding, magazine mastheads, and elegant packaging or event collateral where a polished, high-end voice is desired.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a dramatic elegance that reads as contemporary editorial. Its narrow, towering shapes and razor-thin details project sophistication and restraint, lending a couture-like, gallery-ready finish to headlines and titling.
The font appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a classic high-contrast serif: tall, economical in width, and visually dramatic. Its design prioritizes elegant tension and refined detailing for statement typography rather than utilitarian body text.
The design emphasizes vertical stress and long, continuous strokes, making it visually striking at larger sizes. In running text, the slender hairlines and tight proportions create a bright texture that can feel airy and precise, especially on white backgrounds.
