A tightly condensed serif with tall proportions and a pronounced vertical rhythm. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with sturdy main stems that subtly widen into flared, bracketed endings, and sharper, tapered terminals on diagonals and joins. Counters are relatively compact and elongated, and many letters rely on slender connecting strokes that emphasize height over width. Overall spacing and shapes feel deliberate and formal, with crisp apexes and a slightly calligraphic stress that reads clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, titles, pull quotes, and other display settings where a compact measure and strong vertical presence are desirable. It works well for editorial design, book or album covers, and brand marks that want a refined, classic voice while conserving horizontal space.
The typeface projects a poised, theatrical classicism—formal and a bit dramatic rather than casual. Its narrow, towering silhouettes and tapered details give it an editorial, fashion-forward tone that can feel luxurious and authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice in a space-saving, high-impact form. By combining narrow proportions with tapered, flared finishing strokes, it aims to create a distinctive silhouette and an elevated, print-oriented texture for prominent typography.
Capitals appear especially tall and stately, while the lowercase maintains a measured x-height with prominent ascenders and descenders that reinforce the vertical cadence. Numerals and punctuation follow the same condensed, high-contrast logic, helping headings and short lines maintain a consistent, disciplined texture.
