This serif presents compact proportions with a strong vertical rhythm and pronounced stroke contrast. Stems end in sharply cut, tapered serifs that feel subtly flared, giving terminals a chiseled, sculpted finish rather than flat slabs. Counters are relatively tight, with crisp joins and assertive curves, producing a dense, punchy texture in both caps and lowercase. Numerals match the text color with similarly high-contrast construction and firm, angular detailing.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and cover typography where a compact, high-impact serif can carry hierarchy and tone. It also fits editorial branding, posters, and premium packaging that benefit from a classic, authoritative texture and crisp detailing.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a slightly theatrical edge created by the sharp, tapered serif endings and dramatic contrast. It reads as formal and editorial, evoking classic print typography while staying clean and direct.
Likely designed to deliver strong presence in narrow settings while maintaining a traditional serif voice. The flared, chiseled terminals and pronounced contrast suggest an emphasis on elegance and impact for display-forward typography that can still hold together in text-like blocks.
The typeface builds a dark, even typographic color at text sizes, with capitals that feel sturdy and commanding. The pointed feet and small wedge-like details add a refined sharpness that becomes especially noticeable in large setting and headlines.
