A condensed, high-contrast serif with strongly tapered stems that flare into sharp wedge-like terminals. The strokes show a pronounced thick–thin rhythm, with sturdy verticals and hairline joins and cross-strokes. Serifs read as sculpted and slightly bracketed, giving the letters a carved, chiseled feel rather than flat slabs. Counters are relatively tight and the overall spacing feels compact, producing a dense texture that holds together well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of text where its condensed proportions and strong contrast can create impact. It can work well for editorial packaging, poster typography, book covers, and branding systems that need a formal, high-drama voice, especially when given a bit of breathing room through tracking and generous leading.
The font projects a dramatic, classic tone—confident and slightly aristocratic—suited to attention-grabbing headlines. Its sharp terminals and steep contrast add a theatrical edge that can feel luxurious or intense depending on setting and tracking.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with extra visual intensity through condensed width, flared terminals, and pronounced contrast. It prioritizes presence and character over neutrality, aiming for a refined, display-forward texture that reads as crafted and authoritative.
The uppercase set reads especially stately, with tall proportions and emphatic vertical stress, while the lowercase maintains the same tension through narrow bowls and crisp, tapered details. Numerals appear similarly contrasty and compact, reinforcing a consistent display-oriented rhythm across the character set shown.
