A condensed serif with a strong vertical rhythm and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems are narrow and tall, with sharp, tapered serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give terminals a chiseled, engraved feel. Curves are tight and controlled, bowls are relatively compact, and counters stay open enough to keep letters distinct despite the compressed width. Lowercase forms show a traditional, slightly calligraphic structure with crisp joins and pointed terminals, while numerals echo the same high-contrast, vertical emphasis.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks that benefit from a tall, elegant silhouette. It can also work for premium packaging and cover typography where a refined, high-contrast serif is desired, particularly when used with generous line spacing and careful tracking.
The overall tone is formal and theatrical, combining classic bookish authority with a fashion/editorial edge. Its narrow proportions and striking contrast create a sense of intensity and sophistication, lending headlines a poised, slightly dramatic presence.
Designed to deliver a compact, attention-grabbing serif voice that feels traditional yet stylized, emphasizing verticality, contrast, and crisp finishing details. The flared terminals and sharp serifs appear intended to add character and drama while preserving a disciplined, classical structure.
Spacing and fit appear optimized for display use, where the condensed set and strong contrast can work as a deliberate texture rather than a neutral reading voice. The sharp serifs and tapered terminals suggest best results at moderate to large sizes where fine strokes can remain clear.
