A compact, robust serif with bracketed serifs and softly tapered terminals that give the strokes a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle flavor without becoming ornate. Proportions are condensed with a tall x-height and relatively short extenders, producing a tight vertical rhythm and strong color on the page. Curves are full and rounded, counters are moderate, and joins are sturdy, helping the design stay dark and stable at display sizes. Numerals and capitals maintain the same compact, upright stance, with notable weight in vertical stems and confident, rounded serifs.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, and other short-to-medium editorial settings where a compact width and strong serif presence help fit more characters per line while retaining a classic tone. It also works effectively on book covers, posters, and packaging that call for traditional credibility and high visual impact.
The overall tone feels traditional and authoritative, evoking familiar book and newspaper typography with a slightly vintage, workmanlike seriousness. Its condensed presence adds urgency and practicality, while the bracketed serifs keep it rooted in classic editorial conventions.
The design appears intended as a condensed, high-impact text serif that borrows oldstyle cues—bracketed serifs and subtly tapered terminals—to deliver a traditional voice with space-efficient proportions. It prioritizes strong typographic color and stable structure for prominent reading situations.
In running sample text, the face reads as dense and emphatic, with strong word shapes and pronounced serif cues that reinforce line structure. The lowercase shows a clear, tall x-height and compact spacing tendency, which supports economy of width but creates a distinctly dark texture if set tightly.
