A condensed serif with pronounced stroke contrast and sculpted, flaring terminals that give the strokes a chiseled, calligraphic finish. Vertical stems are dominant and narrow, with thin hairlines and sharply controlled curves that create a tight, high-tension rhythm. Serifs and endings often taper or flare rather than forming blunt brackets, while counters stay compact and vertical, reinforcing the font’s tall, refined posture. Numerals and capitals share the same compressed proportions and crisp detailing, maintaining a consistent, display-oriented texture.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where its condensed width and high contrast can create strong vertical emphasis. It fits fashion and culture publishing, premium branding, and poster work, particularly when space is limited but a sophisticated look is desired.
The overall tone is refined and dramatic, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its sharp contrast and condensed stance convey formality and confidence, suggesting luxury, heritage, and curated taste rather than casual readability.
The design intention reads as a modern, display-focused serif that merges classic high-contrast construction with expressive, flared endings to produce a distinctive editorial voice. It aims to deliver elegance and impact in tight measures while preserving a crafted, typographic character.
Spacing appears tuned for a dense, column-like color, making the face feel impactful at larger sizes. The flare at terminals adds a distinctive signature that reads as crafted and slightly theatrical, especially in all-caps settings and short phrases.
