A condensed serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered, wedge-like terminals that often flare from the stems. Vertical strokes are sturdy and dark, while joins and hairlines snap to fine points, creating a crisp, sculpted silhouette. Curves are tightly drawn and slightly angular in their stress, with compact counters and a firm, upright posture. Overall rhythm is energetic and punchy, with strong foreground color and distinctive, chiseled endings on many strokes.
Best used for display settings such as headlines, magazine mastheads, poster typography, and brand marks where its contrast and wedge terminals can be appreciated. It also suits packaging and short editorial callouts, especially in tight column widths where a condensed silhouette helps fit content without losing presence.
The tone is editorial and theatrical, combining classical serif authority with a slightly flamboyant, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp contrast and flared details read as confident and premium, suited to statements that should feel intentional and crafted rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in compact widths by pairing strong vertical weight with lively, flared terminals and razor-thin transitions. It aims for a refined, classical foundation while emphasizing a distinctive, attention-grabbing finish for contemporary display use.
In text, the narrow proportions and dark verticals produce a dense texture, while the flared terminals add sparkle at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same high-contrast, carved character, making the face especially impactful in short strings and stacked lines.
