A condensed serif with sharp, bracketed wedge serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems are dark and vertical, with hairline cross-strokes and tight apertures that create a compact, ink-rich rhythm. Terminals are crisp and slightly flared, and many curves show a vertical stress typical of classic text serifs, while the narrow proportions keep the overall silhouette tall and economical. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with narrow widths and clear lining-style alignment.
Works well for headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where a condensed footprint is helpful and a strong typographic color is desirable. It can suit magazine spreads, book jackets, and poster titling, especially in layouts that benefit from tall, compact word shapes and crisp contrast.
The tone is emphatic and traditional, combining old-style elegance with a punchy, poster-like presence. Its compressed width and strong contrast give it an assertive, editorial voice that feels suited to serious, attention-getting typography rather than casual messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif feel with heightened impact: conserving horizontal space while maintaining a refined, high-contrast structure. It prioritizes strong hierarchy and a classic voice for display and editorial settings.
In running text the dense color and tight spacing can build a strong typographic “block,” making it especially effective when a compact column and strong hierarchy are desired. The letterforms retain conventional serif cues, but the narrow set and energetic contrast push it toward display use at larger sizes.
