This serif presents tall, condensed proportions with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a largely vertical stress. Stems are robust and clean, while hairlines become very fine, creating a crisp, high-contrast rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Serifs read as subtly flared and wedge-like, with gentle bracketing that helps transitions feel carved rather than purely mechanical. Curves are smooth and taut, counters are relatively compact, and the overall texture is dark and confident at display sizes.
It works best for headlines, decks, and short passages where its contrast and condensed stance can add impact—magazine titles, editorial feature heads, book covers, and promotional posters. For longer reading, it will generally benefit from generous size and leading to keep the fine hairlines from feeling too intense.
The font conveys a refined, editorial tone with a touch of theatrical drama from its sharp contrast and sculpted terminals. It feels formal and composed, projecting authority and polish without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and a compact footprint, balancing tradition with a more sculptural, flared finish at stroke endings. Its letterforms prioritize presence and hierarchy, making it well suited to prominent typographic roles.
Capitals are stately and narrow, with pointed apexes and crisp joins that amplify the verticality. The lowercase maintains a traditional structure with a clear, sturdy presence, and figures follow the same contrast-driven design, making numerals feel bold and headline-ready.
