A tightly condensed serif with strong vertical emphasis and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems broaden into flared, wedge-like terminals rather than flat slabs, giving the outlines a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Curves are compact and controlled, with narrow apertures and brisk joins that keep counters small and the overall texture dark and rhythmic. The lowercase shows traditional proportions with a moderate x-height and sturdy verticals, while punctuation and figures match the same narrow, emphatic silhouette.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, magazine covers, and brand marks where a compact footprint and striking contrast are advantages. It can also work for packaging or short editorial callouts that benefit from a dark, elegant texture, especially when set with generous tracking and leading.
The font reads as theatrical and authoritative, balancing classic editorial polish with a more expressive, poster-ready punch. Its condensed stance and sharp modulation create a sense of urgency and sophistication, evoking vintage headline typography and high-impact display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver classic serif authority in a space-saving, condensed format while adding character through flared terminals and pronounced modulation. It aims for high visual impact and a distinctive silhouette that stands out in title and branding contexts.
Across the alphabet and sample text, the design maintains a consistent vertical cadence and a distinctive flare at stroke endings, which adds presence without relying on heavy bracketed serifs. The narrow forms and tight internal spaces suggest it will appear especially assertive at larger sizes, where the contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated without crowding.
