This typeface shows tall, condensed proportions with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered, flared terminals that read like wedge serifs rather than bracketed slabs. Vertical stems are strong and straight, while curves and joins tighten into crisp, pointed transitions, giving letters a chiseled, high-definition edge. The uppercase is stately and compact, with narrow counters and carefully controlled curvature; the lowercase keeps a traditional serif skeleton with small, sharp feet and compact bowls. Numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast logic, with elegant tapered ends and a slightly engraved feel.
It suits headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where strong contrast and narrow proportions can add impact without consuming width. It will also work well for editorial branding, fashion or cultural posters, and premium packaging where a refined, engraved-like sharpness is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and slightly theatrical—classic in structure but energized by sharp tapers and dramatic contrast. It suggests luxury and seriousness, with a hint of fashion/editorial attitude rather than soft bookish warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and distinctive flared terminals, creating a compact display text that feels refined, dramatic, and contemporary in its sharp detailing.
Stroke endings often expand into subtle flares that create a lively rhythm across words, especially in mixed-case text. The spacing appears tuned for display use, where the narrow forms and tight counters produce a dark, polished texture in larger settings.
