A condensed serif with pronounced stroke modulation and sharply tapered terminals that often flare into wedge-like serifs. Vertical stems feel weighty and steady while joins and curves pinch elegantly, producing a crisp, chiseled rhythm across words. Counters are relatively compact and the overall texture is dark, with distinctive, sculpted edges that read as both refined and forceful at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short bursts of text where its tapered details can stay crisp. It works well for magazine mastheads, book covers, posters, and branding that wants a classic-yet-expressive serif voice. In longer passages, it benefits from generous size and spacing to keep the dense texture comfortable.
The font projects a dramatic, slightly vintage editorial tone—confident and declarative with a hint of theatrical flair. Its sharp tapers and flared endings add a crafted, engraved feeling that can shift from classic to eccentric depending on spacing and scale.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, condensed display serif with a carved, flared-terminal character—prioritizing striking silhouette and high-impact word shapes over neutrality. Its controlled contrast and sharp finishing aim to create a memorable, authoritative tone in prominent typography.
Letterforms show consistent tapering in diagonals and curved strokes, giving many characters a carved, incised impression rather than bracketed softness. The numerals and capitals maintain a strong vertical emphasis, and the lowercase includes quirky, tight shapes that enhance personality in headlines.
