A condensed serif with pronounced vertical stress and a strong thick–thin rhythm. Stems are robust and straight, while joins and hairlines are very fine, producing crisp counters and a refined, chiselled texture. Serifs are thin and sharp with little visible bracketing, and many terminals resolve to tapered, pointed ends. The lowercase shows compact, upright forms with a tall x-height, tight apertures, and energetic curves in letters like a, g, and s; figures are similarly condensed and contrasty, aligning well for emphatic vertical rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine display, and title treatments where its condensed width and sharp contrast can create impact without taking much horizontal space. It also works well for book covers and brand wordmarks that want a refined, classic voice with heightened drama, and for short blocks of editorial text at comfortable display sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, balancing classic bookish manners with a modern, poster-like punch. Its condensed proportions and stark contrast create a sense of urgency and prestige, reading as formal, stylish, and slightly dramatic rather than casual or friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice in a space-saving, display-oriented form. It emphasizes vertical rhythm, sharp detailing, and an elegant thick–thin palette to project sophistication and authority in prominent typographic roles.
In text, the strong verticals create an even, columnar color, while the very thin hairlines and tight internal spaces can become delicate at smaller sizes or in low-resolution reproduction. The design favors clean edges and careful spacing to preserve the hairline details and maintain clarity in dense settings.
