A condensed serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and wedge-like, flared stroke endings that read as sharp triangular serifs rather than flat slabs. Vertical strokes dominate and taper into pointed terminals, while curves (especially in C, G, S, and numerals) show crisp entry/exit cuts that heighten the contrast. Counters are relatively tight and the rhythm is compact, giving the letters a tall, sculpted silhouette. The lowercase maintains clear differentiation with a single-storey a and g, short, pointed terminals, and a sturdy, vertical stress that stays consistent across text.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, poster titles, and brand marks where its condensed width and sharp flared details can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for short subheads or packaging copy when ample size and spacing are available to preserve clarity.
The overall tone feels editorial and high-drama—elegant but assertive, with a fashion-like sharpness. Its flared endings and steep contrast add a refined, slightly theatrical character that can feel classic and luxe rather than neutral or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-impact serif voice that combines classic letterform structure with emphatic flared terminals, prioritizing distinctive silhouette and editorial presence over quiet text neutrality.
In running text the strong contrast and narrow proportions create a dense color and energetic texture, with distinctive silhouettes in the capitals (notably the spurred G and the angular S). Numerals echo the same tapered, wedge-terminal logic, keeping the set visually cohesive.
