This typeface is a tightly condensed serif with pronounced vertical emphasis and strongly tapered hairlines. Strokes show a classic high-contrast rhythm, with thin joins and sharp, largely unbracketed wedge-like serifs that create crisp terminals. The italic posture is consistent across cases, with compact counters and a forward-leaning, calligraphic flow; lowercase forms (notably a, e, g, y) use lively curves and occasional teardrop/ball-like terminals. Numerals follow the same narrow, high-fashion proportions, combining delicate hairlines with bold main stems for a sculpted, display-oriented texture.
Best suited to display sizes such as magazine headlines, mastheads, posters, and brand wordmarks where its condensed elegance can shine. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging copy when used with generous tracking and comfortable line spacing.
The overall tone feels stylish and dramatic, evoking luxury publishing and fashion branding. Its sharp contrast and condensed stance lend an assertive, slightly theatrical voice that reads as classic yet attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-impact serif voice in tight horizontal space, pairing classic contrast with an italic, fashion-forward cadence for editorial and branding environments.
The narrow set width and strong contrast create a striking vertical color on the line, but also make spacing and punctuation feel prominent. Curved letters show elegant thinning at transitions, while capitals maintain a crisp, poster-like silhouette with minimal warmth from serif bracketing.
