A condensed serif with high-waisted proportions, tall capitals, and a tight overall footprint. Strokes show clear modulation with subtly flared, bracket-like endings that behave like softened serifs rather than hard slabs, giving stems a gently tapered finish. Curves are clean and controlled, with narrow bowls and compact counters; the rhythm is vertical and even, while joins and terminals retain a slightly calligraphic, shaped quality. Numerals follow the same restrained, upright construction, reading crisp and orderly alongside the text.
Well-suited to editorial design, book and magazine typography, and display use where a compact measure is helpful. It can work effectively for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes that need a refined, space-saving serif presence, as well as branding that calls for a classic, authoritative voice.
The font reads poised and literary, projecting a quiet authority that feels suited to traditional publishing and institutional settings. Its narrow stance and disciplined modulation lend a composed, serious tone rather than a playful one, with an elegant, slightly classical flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed serif with an elegant, flared-ending finish—balancing compact proportions with traditional readability cues. It prioritizes vertical economy and a polished, editorial texture while retaining enough modulation and terminal shaping to feel crafted rather than purely mechanical.
The condensed width increases line efficiency and creates strong vertical color, making spacing and word shapes feel compact and deliberate. In the sample text, the face maintains clarity at larger text sizes, where the flared terminals and modulation become part of the personality rather than visual noise.
