A condensed serif with tall proportions, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. Strokes transition from heavy verticals to very fine hairlines, creating a strong vertical rhythm and a distinctly sculpted silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be narrow, while terminals often finish in sharp points or small flares that emphasize contrast. The overall construction feels carefully chiseled and slightly idiosyncratic, with a display-first presence that remains consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, magazine nameplates, book or film titles, and branding where a condensed, high-impact serif can set a strong tone. It can also work for short pull quotes or subheads, especially when used at larger sizes and with generous tracking.
The font conveys a dramatic, editorial tone with a vintage, poster-like intensity. Its steep contrast and condensed stance read as assertive and formal, suggesting headlines that want to feel prestigious, slightly gothic, and unmistakably attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compact width, combining classical serif cues with a more theatrical, stylized contrast to stand out in titling. It prioritizes striking silhouettes and vertical rhythm over neutral readability, aiming for a distinctive, premium display voice.
In text settings the strong vertical emphasis and fine hairlines create a striking texture, but the narrow internal spaces and delicate joins make it best when given enough size and breathing room. Numerals share the same condensed, high-drama treatment, reinforcing a cohesive display voice for dates, pricing, or titling.
