A condensed display serif with sharp vertical emphasis and pronounced stroke modulation. Stems swell and taper into flared terminals, creating wedge-like serifs and pointed joins, while curves transition quickly from hairline-thin to weighty thick strokes. Counters are compact and tall, with tight interior space that increases density at text sizes. The lowercase shows a high x-height and narrow proportions, with distinctive, sculpted bowls and occasional ball-like terminals; numerals follow the same high-contrast, tapered logic for a unified, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short statements where its condensed width and high-contrast detailing can command attention. It works well for magazine typography, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and theatrical or event posters, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines and flared terminals remain crisp.
The overall tone is glamorous and high-drama, balancing classical serif cues with a stylized, fashion-forward sharpness. Its dense rhythm and razor-thin hairlines lend an upscale, editorial feel that reads as assertive and attention-seeking rather than neutral.
The design intention appears to be a condensed, high-impact serif that merges traditional editorial elegance with a more sculpted, flared-terminal personality. It prioritizes dramatic contrast and verticality to create a distinctive voice for display settings.
Spacing appears deliberately tight, reinforcing a compact, vertical cadence. The strongest visual signatures are the flared stroke endings, sharp beak-like terminals, and the pronounced thick–thin transitions that create a flickering texture across lines of text.
