A compact, high-contrast serif with pronounced wedge-like serifs and flared stroke endings that give stems a subtly sculpted, chiseled look. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with crisp triangular apexes (notably in A, V, W, Y) and tapered joins that emphasize the transition from thick stems to hairline-like connections. Counters are relatively narrow and neatly controlled, while curves in letters like O, C, and S show strong thick–thin modulation and a slightly pinched, engraved quality. The lowercase keeps a traditional, text-oriented structure with a compact footprint, firm verticals, and crisp terminals; figures follow the same contrast and wedge-terminal logic for a cohesive, display-leaning texture.
Well-suited to headlines, magazine and editorial titling, and book-cover typography where crisp contrast and sharp serifs can carry personality. It can also work for brand marks and packaging that want a classic-yet-dramatic voice, especially when set large with generous spacing.
The overall tone is formal and assertive, balancing classical bookish cues with a more theatrical, high-fashion edge. Its sharp serifs and bright contrast create a sense of precision and authority, lending a slightly dramatic, poster-ready presence even in straightforward settings.
The design appears aimed at delivering a traditional serif silhouette with heightened contrast and flared, wedge-like terminals to increase impact. It prioritizes a strong vertical stance and crisp detailing to achieve an editorial, premium look in display and titling contexts.
Diagonal-heavy forms (V, W, X, Y) read especially punchy due to the combination of narrow proportions and pointed terminals. The heavy verticals and tight spacing create a dense typographic color, making the face feel most at home when used with ample leading or at larger sizes.
