A condensed serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sculpted, flaring terminals that expand out of the stems. The serifs read as wedge-like and softly bracketed rather than slabby, giving the letters a carved, high‑contrast rhythm. Curves are taut and verticals are dominant, with tight internal apertures in several lowercase forms; punctuation and figures follow the same sharp, tapered logic, producing a crisp, poster-ready color on the page.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titles, and large-size editorial typography where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It can also work well for branding and packaging that need a classic, premium voice with a bold typographic silhouette.
The overall tone is editorial and emphatic, with a refined but forceful presence reminiscent of fashion mastheads and classic headline typography. Its sharp transitions and flared endings add a slightly theatrical, authoritative feel without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-impact serif for display use, combining classical proportions with flared, chiseled endings to create a distinctive, authoritative word shape and strong page presence.
In the sample text, the dense stroke contrast and narrow set create strong line texture and clear hierarchy at display sizes. The uppercase feels especially monumental, while the lowercase maintains a traditional, bookish structure with distinctive terminals that keep the texture lively.
