This typeface presents a high-contrast serif structure with slender hairlines and weighty verticals that often swell into subtly flared, wedge-like terminals. Serifs feel sharp and sculpted rather than bracketed, with pointed beaks and clean, decisive joins. Proportions are condensed overall, with tall capitals and a relatively contained, open lowercase that keeps counters clear despite the contrast. Curves show a pronounced vertical stress, and strokes taper elegantly into fine endings, giving the forms a polished, engraved-influenced crispness.
It performs best in headlines, subheads, and other display settings where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. The condensed stance makes it useful for magazine layouts, branding marks, and poster typography that needs a confident, premium voice while conserving horizontal space.
The tone is formal and editorial, balancing classic bookish authority with a stylish, fashion-forward edge. Its contrast and tight proportions create a dramatic rhythm that reads as refined, premium, and intentional, suited to high-impact typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif with flared finishing that evokes classical inscriptional sharpness while staying clean and contemporary. It prioritizes impact, elegance, and a composed vertical rhythm for editorial and brand-forward applications.
Numerals and capitals share the same tall, sharp presence, with strong vertical emphasis and delicate horizontals that add sparkle at larger sizes. The lowercase shows a clear, traditional skeleton (notably in a, e, and g) and maintains a consistent, disciplined texture across lines of display text.
