A condensed serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and tapered, flaring terminals that read as wedge-like serifs. Strokes transition quickly from hairlines to heavy stems, creating a crisp vertical emphasis and strong silhouette. Curves are taut and clean, counters are relatively compact, and joins stay sharp, producing a firm, print-oriented texture in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, book jackets, and magazine layouts where high contrast and a condensed footprint add impact. It can also serve brand marks and packaging that want a traditional, premium voice with sharper modern edge, but it will be most comfortable at display sizes rather than long continuous text.
This face conveys a confident, editorial tone with a classic, slightly dramatic personality. The sharp tapering and energetic contrast give it a sense of authority and refinement, while the condensed rhythm adds urgency and punch in display settings.
The design appears intended for strong, space-efficient typography that still feels formal and crafted. Its tapered terminals and decisive contrast suggest an aim to deliver classic serif sophistication with extra snap and emphasis at larger sizes.
The numerals and capitals share a consistent vertical weight and tight set width, reinforcing a strong columnar rhythm. Lowercase details remain sturdy despite fine hairlines, with pointed terminals and compact apertures that increase contrast in texture.
