A condensed, high-contrast serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction. Stems are tall and slender, with sharp tapering into pointed, forked serifs and occasional mid-stem spurs that add bite to otherwise clean verticals. Curves show pronounced thick–thin modulation and narrow counters, while joins and terminals often resolve into wedge-like, slightly hooked details. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with lively, irregular flare at terminals that keeps the texture from feeling purely classical.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, poster typography, book and film titles, and branding where a distinctive, dramatic serif voice is desired. It can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes, but the tight proportions and sharp detailing favor larger sizes and more generous spacing.
The tone reads dramatic and old-world, mixing editorial refinement with a slightly sinister, storybook edge. Its spurred terminals and needle-like serifs suggest vintage posters, gothic signage, and theatrical titles rather than neutral text typography.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional high-contrast serif through ornamental, forked finishing and spur-like accents, aiming for a recognizable silhouette and strong vertical presence. It prioritizes character and atmosphere over neutrality, delivering a refined yet theatrical display texture.
Uppercase forms feel especially tall and stately, and the numerals carry the same tapered contrast and sharp finishing, giving figures a display-forward presence. In running text the narrow proportions and energetic terminals create a dark, animated color that becomes more striking as size increases.
