A high-contrast serif with tall, compact proportions and strongly tapered joins. Vertical stems carry most of the weight, while hairlines and link strokes drop to very thin, producing a crisp black-and-white rhythm. Stroke endings frequently widen into subtle flares rather than square slabs, and many terminals come to sharp points, giving the contours a carved, chiseled feel. Counters are relatively tight and the overall spacing reads compact, with punctuation and figures matching the same hard-edged, contrasty construction.
Well-suited to display typography where strong contrast and compact width can create impact—headlines, magazine titles, book covers, and brand marks. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging copy when set with generous size and spacing, while longer passages may benefit from looser tracking and leading to offset the dense texture.
The font conveys a bold, theatrical elegance—confident and slightly severe. Its sharp terminals and stark contrast evoke a refined, old-world sensibility with a commanding, poster-like presence.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classical serif through exaggerated contrast and flared endings, prioritizing dramatic form and strong typographic color. Its construction emphasizes verticality and sharp finishing to deliver a distinctive, premium display voice.
Round letters show pronounced thick/thin modulation and narrow apertures, which heightens the sense of tension in the shapes. Numerals appear lining and similarly high-contrast, with distinctive, angular details that keep them visually consistent with the capitals. In text, the dense color and spiky finishing make it especially attention-grabbing at display sizes.
