A condensed serif with sharply sculpted, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes snap from heavy stems to hairline connections, producing a crisp, high-drama rhythm, especially in curves and joins. Counters are relatively tight and the overall silhouette is vertical and compact, with crisp terminals and a slightly calligraphic, vertically stressed feel. The lowercase reads as sturdy and compact, with firm serifs on stems and small, neat apertures that emphasize density and punch.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and statement typography where its condensed width and sharp contrast can create a strong typographic voice. It works well for magazine layouts, fashion or cultural branding, packaging, and promotional materials where a classic-yet-dramatic serif is desired.
The tone is assertive and editorial, combining classic bookish formality with a fashion-forward edge. Its strong contrast and compressed proportions convey drama, confidence, and a slightly theatrical refinement suited to attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while retaining traditional serif credibility. By pairing condensed proportions with crisp, hairline details, it aims for an elegant, authoritative display texture that stands out in editorial and brand contexts.
Figures are similarly contrasty and stylized, with noticeable thick–thin transitions and compact spacing, which reinforces a poster-like color on the page. In longer lines the dense texture can feel intense, so it benefits from generous tracking and line spacing when used beyond display sizes.
