A tightly condensed serif with strong vertical stress and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems are straight and tall, while serifs are sharp and wedge-like, with subtle flaring at stroke endings that gives terminals a chiseled, carved feel. Curves are compact and controlled, counters are relatively narrow, and the overall rhythm is upright and tightly spaced, creating a dense, columnar texture in text. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, condensed logic, with narrow widths and crisp joins.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, magazine layouts, posters, and packaging where condensed width and high contrast help maximize impact in limited space. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling, especially when you want a refined, dramatic voice rather than an understated text face.
The overall tone is formal and high-impact, with a fashion/editorial edge. Its compressed proportions and sharp, flared details read as dramatic and authoritative, suggesting classic display typography interpreted with a more modern, hard-edged finish.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-contrast serif voice with flared, chiseled terminals—optimized for attention-grabbing display typography that stays elegant while remaining assertive and space-efficient.
In longer settings the narrow set and strong contrast create a distinctive striped texture, with capitals forming particularly strong vertical blocks. The design’s pointed serifs and tapered terminals make it feel best when given room to breathe rather than being crowded at very small sizes.
