This typeface is sharply condensed with tall capitals and a high-waisted silhouette. Strokes are moderately contrasted and often taper into pointed or flared terminals, producing brisk, wedge-like endings rather than blunt cuts. Serifs are fine and understated, with a slightly calligraphic rhythm that shows in the curved joins and the way verticals swell subtly toward terminals. Counters are compact and vertical, and the overall texture is dark, tight, and vertical in emphasis, with narrow spacing and a slightly animated baseline rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and editorial display where its condensed build can save space while still feeling upscale. It can work for short pull quotes, book or magazine covers, posters, and brand marks that benefit from a classic, tapered serif voice, but will feel heavy and compressed in long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone feels refined and literary, with a touch of theatrical drama. Its narrow proportions and tapered finishing give it a poised, old-world sophistication that reads as formal and intentional rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-contrast-leaning serif impression with flared, tapered terminals that add sophistication and personality. Its proportions prioritize vertical elegance and space efficiency, aiming for a distinctive display texture that remains rooted in traditional serif conventions.
In continuous text the tight width and short lowercase proportions create a dense, vertical color that favors display sizing. Numerals share the same narrow, tapered construction, helping headings and titling stay cohesive across mixed-case and numeric settings.
