A tall, condensed serif with pronounced verticality and a tight overall set. Strokes show moderate contrast, with sturdy vertical stems and finer connecting strokes, while many terminals widen into subtle flares rather than ending in blunt slabs. Serifs are sharp and tapered, giving corners a crisp, chiseled feel; curves are narrow and controlled, and counters are compact. The lowercase has a straight, upright rhythm with short-to-moderate extenders and a slightly calligraphic terminal behavior in letters like a, f, g, and y, while figures are narrow and align cleanly with the type’s vertical proportions.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium display copy where its condensed build can save space without losing elegance. It works well for editorial design, book covers, posters, and branding that benefits from a formal, heritage-leaning tone and strong vertical emphasis.
The font reads as poised and traditional, with a slightly theatrical edge created by its narrow proportions and flared finishing. It evokes editorial seriousness—suited to classic, literary, or heritage cues—while still feeling crisp and modern enough for display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined condensed serif voice with distinctive flared terminals, combining classical proportions with a sharper, more graphic finish. Its narrow rhythm and crisp detailing suggest a focus on impactful display typography that remains legible and composed in sentence settings.
The overall color is dark and concentrated due to the condensed widths, producing strong vertical stripes in text. Round letters (O, C, G) remain narrow and upright, reinforcing a consistent, columnar texture, and the capitals have a stately presence that pairs well with the similarly narrow lowercase.
