A condensed serif with pronounced vertical stress and striking stroke contrast, pairing thick stems with hairline joins and serifs. Letterforms are tall and statuesque, with compact counters and tight apertures that emphasize a vertical rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharply finished, and many joins taper into pointed terminals, giving the shapes a crisp, engraved feel. The lowercase shows a traditional structure with a two-storey a and g, a narrow, straight-sided n/m, and a slightly descending, elegant f and y; numerals are similarly narrow with high contrast and delicate details.
Well suited to headlines, pull quotes, and display typography where a sophisticated, high-contrast look is desired. It works especially well for magazine layouts, fashion or beauty branding, cultural event posters, and titling where vertical elegance and a compact footprint help fit more characters per line. For longer text, it is likely best used sparingly as an accent style rather than as the primary reading face.
The overall tone is elegant and dramatic, with a distinctly editorial, runway-minded polish. Its narrow proportions and razor-thin details feel premium and formal, suggesting luxury, culture, and high-style presentation rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif voice in a condensed width, maximizing elegance and impact in limited horizontal space. Its sharp hairlines, strong verticals, and refined serifs suggest an emphasis on luxury branding and editorial drama over everyday robustness.
At larger sizes the hairlines read as precise and refined, while the condensed spacing and tight interior shapes create a dense texture that can feel intense in long passages. The design’s sharp terminals and thin serifs contribute to a clean, high-end silhouette that stands out most in headings and short, emphatic lines.
