A condensed serif with chiseled, flared stroke endings and a tightly controlled vertical rhythm. Stems remain straight and upright, while terminals broaden subtly into wedge-like feet and tips, giving the face a carved, calligraphic finish rather than bracketed serifs. Contrast is moderate, with crisp joins and narrow internal apertures that keep the silhouette compact. The lowercase shows a traditional, bookish structure with a two-storey “a” and “g”, and the numerals follow the same tall, narrow proportions for consistent color in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium editorial settings where a condensed serif can add authority and save horizontal space. It works well for magazine layouts, book covers, cultural posters, and brand wordmarks that want a classic, crafted voice. For long-form body copy, it will likely be most comfortable at sizes where the compact counters remain clearly open.
The overall tone feels classical and editorial—serious, composed, and slightly dramatic due to its compressed width and sharp, flared terminals. It suggests heritage publishing and refined display typography, with a stately presence that reads as formal without becoming overly ornate.
Likely designed to deliver a refined, space-efficient serif with a distinctive flared finish—combining classical proportions with a carved, display-oriented crispness. The goal appears to be strong typographic presence in narrow widths while keeping an even, disciplined text color.
The condensed proportions create strong vertical emphasis and a distinctive dark–light rhythm, especially in capitals. Curved letters keep a controlled, somewhat taut curvature, reinforcing the disciplined, engraved impression. Spacing in the sample text appears designed to maintain even texture despite the narrow set.
