A condensed serif with tall proportions and pronounced flared stroke endings. Stems are sturdy and mostly straight, while terminals expand into wedge-like, bracketed serifs that give the outlines a carved, slightly calligraphic finish. Curves are tight and controlled, with compact internal counters and a consistent, energetic rhythm across capitals and lowercase. Numerals match the narrow set and carry the same tapered, serifed detailing, keeping the texture dense and vertical on the page.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and title work where condensed width helps fit more characters per line while maintaining a strong, classic voice. It can also work for magazine covers, theatrical or literary posters, and branding that benefits from a tall, authoritative serif texture.
The tone is formal and editorial, combining a traditional bookish voice with a sharper, more theatrical edge from the flared terminals and condensed build. It reads assertive and authoritative, suitable for designs that want historical resonance without feeling soft or casual.
Likely designed to deliver a compact, high-impact serif that remains readable while projecting a traditional, editorial character. The flared endings and bracketed serifs appear intended to add warmth and distinctiveness to a condensed structure, giving it a recognizable signature in display and titling contexts.
In text, the narrow letterforms and strong vertical stress create a dark, even typographic color that favors short lines and larger sizes. The distinctive flaring at joins and terminals is a key identifier and becomes more prominent as size increases, lending a display-like presence even in paragraph settings.
