A condensed display serif with pronounced vertical stress and sharp contrast between thick stems and fine hairlines. Serifs are crisp and largely unbracketed, with tapered, needle-like terminals that keep the silhouette clean and incisive. Proportions are tall and narrow, with small counters and a strong vertical rhythm that reads as tightly spaced even at comfortable tracking. Numerals and caps echo the same formal, engraved-like structure, producing a consistent, high-impact texture in text lines.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, cover lines, and other large-size applications where contrast and condensed width can create hierarchy without consuming horizontal space. It also fits premium branding and packaging where a refined, high-fashion voice is desired, and can work for short editorial subheads when given sufficient size and breathing room.
The overall tone is formal and theatrical, leaning toward luxury and editorial refinement. Its narrow, high-contrast shapes create a sense of tension and sophistication that feels suited to statement typography rather than casual reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact serif voice with a polished, editorial sensibility—maximizing drama and vertical rhythm while preserving a classic, formal construction.
The typeface maintains a disciplined, upright stance with minimal flourish; the emphasis is on sleek verticality and crisp finishing rather than calligraphic softness. In longer samples it forms a dark, stripe-like color, so spacing and size choices will strongly affect readability and elegance.
