A tightly condensed serif with strong vertical stress and pronounced thick–thin contrast. Stems terminate in subtly flared, wedge-like serifs rather than flat slabs, giving the letters a chiseled, tapering finish. Counters are narrow and upright, with tall capitals and a compact, steady x-height; joins and terminals are clean and crisp, emphasizing a vertical rhythm and a refined, high-impact texture in paragraphs and headlines.
Best suited to display typography where a compact width and strong contrast can be used for impact—magazine covers, section headers, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling in editorial layouts where a tight, vertical texture is desirable.
The overall tone is formal and theatrical, combining classic editorial polish with a slightly modern, fashion-forward edge. Its narrow proportions and sharp contrast create a sense of tension and elegance, lending text an authoritative, high-drama presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, pairing classical serif cues with flared, tapered endings for a distinctive, contemporary display voice. The consistent vertical rhythm suggests a focus on striking headings that remain orderly and refined.
The numerals and punctuation match the condensed, vertical cadence, keeping spacing and color consistent in display settings. Round letters (like O and C) read as tall, oval forms, reinforcing the font’s streamlined silhouette and column-like texture.
