This typeface is a compact serif with distinctly tapered, flaring terminals that widen into sharp, wedge-like ends rather than bracketed slabs. Strokes show clear modulation, with thin hairlines and sturdier verticals, producing crisp joins and pointed intersections in letters like V, W, and Y. The overall set is tall and tightly fit, with narrow bowls and counters and a slightly compressed rhythm across words. Serifs and terminals often feel knife-edged and vertical, giving many glyphs a chiseled silhouette; lowercase forms remain relatively narrow with a straightforward, upright construction.
Best suited to display and titling work such as magazine headlines, book covers, posters, and branding where its narrow, high-impact forms help conserve width while staying distinctive. It can also work for short editorial passages at larger sizes, where the sharp terminals and contrast remain clear without crowding.
The tone is literary and authoritative, with a slightly theatrical edge from the sharp flares and taut proportions. It reads as traditional and editorial, but the spiky terminals add a distinctive, assertive character that can feel dramatic in headlines.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif construction with flared, tapered stroke endings to create a condensed, attention-holding texture. Its proportions and crisp terminal treatment suggest a focus on vertical elegance and strong typographic presence in titles and formal messaging.
Capitals are especially statuesque, and diagonals end in pronounced wedges that emphasize verticality. The numerals follow the same sharp terminal logic and appear designed to hold their shape at display sizes, where the flared endings and inner apertures are most evident.
