A condensed display serif with strong vertical emphasis and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems are robust and taper into flared, wedge-like serif endings, giving many terminals a chiseled, directional feel rather than flat slabs. Curves are smooth but tightly controlled, with narrow bowls and compact counters; the overall rhythm is vertical and assertive. The lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with sturdy ascenders, while details like the teardrop terminals and sharp interior joins add a distinctly sculpted texture in text.
Well-suited for headlines, pull quotes, and short editorial settings where strong contrast and condensed width help maximize impact in limited space. It can also serve branding and packaging that benefits from a formal, premium voice, especially at larger sizes where the flared terminals and sharp joins read clearly.
The font projects an editorial, fashion-forward tone with a sense of drama and authority. Its high-contrast strokes and flared endings feel refined and ceremonial, evoking classic print typography with a contemporary, punchy edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-impact serif voice that combines classic contrast with flared, wedge-shaped endings for added sharpness and presence. It prioritizes visual authority and elegance over long-form neutrality, aiming for distinctive texture in display and editorial use.
In running text the condensed proportions and heavy verticals create a dark, striking color, making it best when given generous tracking and line spacing. Numerals follow the same sharp, tapered logic, and round forms maintain tight apertures that reinforce the compact, high-impact look.
