A condensed serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a strongly vertical posture. Strokes terminate in sharp, tapered serifs with a subtly flared feel, and many joins show tight, pinched bracket transitions that emphasize the vertical stems. Counters are compact and oval-to-teardrop in places, giving the design a slightly compressed, high-tension rhythm, while diagonals in letters like V, W, X, and Y remain clean and angular. Numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast construction, with elegant curves and crisp terminals that keep the set visually consistent.
This font is well suited to headlines, magazine and editorial titling, posters, and book-cover typography where a narrow footprint and dramatic contrast help create hierarchy. It can also work for branding and packaging that needs a formal, classic voice with a sharp silhouette.
The overall tone is refined and assertive, balancing classical formality with a heightened, theatrical contrast. It feels suited to confident statements—stylish, slightly severe, and intentionally attention-grabbing rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-impact serif voice with sculpted, tapered terminals—combining classical proportions with heightened contrast for elegant display typography that commands attention in titles and short text.
The typeface reads best at display sizes where its fine hairlines, tight joins, and tapered serifs can remain clear. In dense settings, the condensed proportions and small interior spaces can add intensity and a compact, vertical texture.
