A condensed display serif with strong vertical emphasis and pronounced stroke contrast. Stems are thick and compact, while joins and terminals taper into flared, wedge-like endings that read as sharp, sculpted serifs rather than slabs. Counters are relatively tight and tall, with smooth curves that pinch into fine hairlines, creating a crisp, poster-like rhythm. The lowercase shows a traditional serif structure with compact bowls and pronounced terminal shaping, and the numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast, tapered logic for consistent color in mixed setting.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It works well for magazine titles, posters, packaging, and branding marks that need a tall, stylish presence, and it can add a dramatic editorial voice to pull quotes or section openers.
The overall tone is dramatic and fashion-forward, with a slightly vintage, high-style sensibility. Its tall, tense silhouettes and sharp flares suggest confidence and intensity, suited to attention-grabbing typography rather than quiet text setting.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in a compact width, combining classic serif structure with sharp, flared terminals for a distinctive display personality. Its condensed proportions and sculpted contrast suggest an emphasis on elegance and drama in large-size typography.
The design’s tension comes from the interplay of narrow proportions, swelling verticals, and pointed, flared endings, which creates a lively texture at large sizes. The condensed fit and tight interior spaces make spacing and line breaks feel deliberate and impactful, especially in title case.
