A very dark, high-contrast serif with compressed proportions and sculpted, flare-like stroke endings. Stems and diagonals feel chiseled, with pointed wedges and knife-like junctions that create crisp internal notches, especially where curves meet verticals. Bowls are compact and teardrop-shaped in places, while counters stay relatively tight, giving the face a dense, poster-ready texture. The lowercase shows a classical skeleton with a moderate x-height and lively, angled terminals that keep the rhythm energetic in text.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display, posters, and brand marks where its compressed width and sculpted contrast can read with impact. It can also work for short editorial subheads or packaging copy when set with generous size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, mixing classic serif formality with an edgy, cut-paper sharpness. It reads as fashion-forward and headline-driven, with a slightly gothic or cabaret flavor that heightens drama without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while projecting a refined, fashion/editorial sensibility. Its flared endings and carved junctions suggest a goal of combining classical serif structure with a more contemporary, graphic sharpness for display typography.
Numerals and capitals carry strong vertical emphasis, and several forms use wedge-like cuts that can resemble ink-trap detailing at larger sizes. The design’s crisp contrast and narrow build create striking word shapes, but the dense counters and sharp joins make it feel most at home when given room to breathe.
