A compact, display-oriented serif with strong vertical emphasis and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems end in wedge-like, flared terminals rather than flat slabs, producing pointed, chiseled serifs and crisp joins. Capitals are tall and commanding with sharp apexes (notably in A, V, W) and tightly drawn bowls and counters; the overall rhythm feels dense and deliberate. Lowercase forms keep a fairly steady x-height while introducing more calligraphic curvature in letters like a, e, g, and y, with distinctive tapered strokes and small, sharp finishing points. Numerals mirror the same high-contrast logic, with narrow proportions and clear, sculpted terminals.
Well suited for headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and fashion or culture editorial layouts where a dense, high-contrast texture is desirable. It can also work for brand marks, packaging, and campaign posters that benefit from a sharp, authoritative serif presence.
The font projects an editorial, high-style tone—confident and slightly theatrical—mixing classical serif cues with a modern, sharpened edge. Its tight, vertical posture and flared endings give it a refined but assertive voice suited to attention-grabbing typography.
This appears designed to deliver maximum impact in display settings by combining narrow, vertical proportions with dramatic contrast and flared serif terminals. The goal is a distinctive, sculpted silhouette that feels both classic and contemporary when set large.
The design relies on pronounced contrast and tapered stroke endings, so details read best at larger sizes where the thin strokes and sharp terminals can remain crisp. The overall texture is dark and concentrated, creating a strong headline color and a sense of urgency in setting.
