A tightly condensed serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a strongly vertical rhythm. Stems are dark and straight, while joins and terminals pinch into fine hairlines, creating crisp, blade-like details. The serifs and stroke endings often flare subtly from the stems, giving a sculpted, slightly calligraphic finish without becoming fully italic. Counters are relatively compact, and the overall color is punchy and high-definition, especially in capitals and tall ascenders/descenders.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed width and high contrast can create strong hierarchy—magazine mastheads, fashion or culture headlines, theatrical posters, and upscale packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headings where a dramatic, refined voice is desired.
The tone is poised and dramatic, combining classical refinement with a slightly gothic or stage-poster edge. Its narrow stance and sharp contrast feel fashion-forward and editorial, suggesting luxury, ceremony, and high-impact messaging.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, pairing a classic serif structure with flared, tapered endings for added sophistication. Its emphasis on contrast and vertical proportions suggests an intention to feel premium and attention-grabbing rather than purely utilitarian for long-form reading.
The design emphasizes height and verticality, with many letters appearing tall and tightly spaced by nature of their condensed proportions. Hairline features (especially in diagonals and curved joins) read as delicate accents that heighten contrast and give the face a distinctive, chiseled silhouette.
