A compact serif with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and fine hairlines, paired with wedge-like, subtly flared stroke endings. The letterforms are tightly proportioned with a strong vertical axis and crisp, pointed joins in diagonals and arms. Serifs feel tapered and somewhat bracketed rather than blocky, giving strokes a chiseled, calligraphic finish while keeping outlines clean and print-like. Counters are relatively small and controlled, and overall spacing reads firm and efficient, creating a dense, authoritative texture in text.
Best suited to display roles where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated—magazine headlines, cultural posters, book and album covers, and premium brand or packaging typography. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when a compact, authoritative texture is desired, but its fine hairlines suggest using adequate size and output quality for comfortable reading.
The tone is traditional and editorial with a dramatic, high-impact presence. Its sharp terminals and emphatic thick–thin rhythm suggest refinement and seriousness, lending a slightly theatrical, headline-forward character rather than a neutral workhorse feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with added drama through strong contrast and flared, wedge-like finishing. It balances traditional proportions with crisp, modern sharpness to create a compact, attention-grabbing typographic color for titles and statement text.
Numerals and capitals carry especially strong weight and contrast, making them visually prominent in mixed settings. The lowercase maintains a steady rhythm, while the pointed wedge terminals add sparkle at larger sizes and a darker, more compact color as sizes drop.
