A condensed serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that create a tapered, sculpted silhouette. Stems often swell slightly as they meet terminals, giving many letters a wedge-like finish and a subtly calligraphic rhythm despite an overall upright stance. The contrast is moderate, with clean, firm verticals and narrowed interior counters that emphasize a tight, vertical texture in paragraphs. Capitals are tall and narrow with pointed apexes and sharp joins, while lowercase forms keep a compact footprint and relatively small, crisp apertures.
Best suited for headlines, titling, and short editorial bursts where its narrow width and flared detailing can create impact without taking much horizontal space. It can also work for book covers and magazine mastheads, and for branding that wants a classic, slightly dramatic serif voice.
The overall tone feels editorial and vintage, with a theatrical sharpness that reads as deliberate and authoritative rather than casual. Its compressed, flared detailing suggests old-style display typography—suited to serious headlines with a hint of drama.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact serif with expressive flared terminals—balancing traditional serif structure with a sharper, more stylized finish for display-driven typography.
The tight proportions and narrow counters create a strong, dark column effect at text sizes, while the distinctive flared terminals become more legible and characteristic as size increases. Numerals share the same condensed, tapered rhythm, helping mixed text maintain a consistent vertical cadence.
