A condensed serif with tall, narrow proportions and a steady vertical posture. Strokes show modest contrast with subtly tapered terminals, and the serifs are small, bracketed, and slightly flared, giving the outlines a lightly inked, hand-pressed feel rather than a purely mechanical one. Curves are tight and vertical counters are emphasized, producing a compact rhythm; some letters carry gentle asymmetries and narrow joins that add texture in longer settings. Numerals follow the same condensed, slightly calligraphic logic, maintaining a consistent color and crisp silhouette.
Works well for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and titling where a narrow footprint is useful. The slightly inked, classic serif character suits editorial layouts, book and film titling, posters, and packaging that aims for a traditional or period-inspired feel.
The overall tone is vintage and literary, evoking printed ephemera, classic book typography, and early editorial display. Its narrow stance and faintly irregular ink character create a dramatic, period-leaning presence that feels serious and a bit theatrical without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, space-saving serif with a historically flavored, print-like texture—balancing conventional readability with a touch of antique personality for display and editorial typography.
The condensed construction makes word shapes highly vertical, so spacing and line length become important for comfortable reading. The texture is firm and dark, with distinctive narrow capitals and a compact lowercase that reinforces a strong headline voice.
