A sharply contrasted serif with pronounced vertical stress and extremely fine hairlines set against strong, dark stems. Proportions are tall and condensed, with generous ascenders and a compact lowercase that reads cleanly at display sizes. Serifs are delicate and precise with minimal bracketing, and terminals tend toward tapered, razor-like finishes that heighten the crisp rhythm. Curves are narrow and controlled, producing tight counters in letters like o, e, and a, while numerals follow the same high-contrast, fashion-style construction.
Best suited to display contexts such as magazine headlines, mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and dramatic poster typography. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling where the thin details have room to breathe and printing or rendering conditions are controlled.
The font projects a polished, high-fashion sensibility—cool, poised, and intentionally dramatic. Its refined hairlines and tight width create a sense of exclusivity and sophistication, while the stark contrast adds theatrical punch suited to attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on modern high-contrast serif typography: condensed, elegant, and visually striking. It prioritizes a sleek vertical rhythm and hairline finesse to create strong hierarchy and a luxe editorial tone.
The dense, vertical rhythm makes lines of text feel sleek and columnar, especially in all caps. In the samples, the thinnest strokes and joins appear intentionally delicate, giving the type a glossy, premium look that benefits from ample size and careful spacing.
