A condensed serif with pronounced flaring at stroke endings and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that give stems a carved, tapering finish. The letterforms are tall and tightly proportioned, with compact bowls and narrow apertures that create a dense, vertical rhythm. Contrast is noticeable but controlled, with thicker main strokes and slimmer joins that stay sturdy at display sizes. Lowercase forms keep a straightforward, traditional structure, while the numerals are narrow and upright with clear, print-like construction.
Best suited to display settings where verticality and strong texture are assets—such as headlines, mastheads, book and magazine covers, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for short pull quotes or subheads where a classic serif voice is desired, but its dense color and narrow counters suggest avoiding extended small-size body text.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, evoking classic print typography with a slightly theatrical, poster-ready intensity. Its compressed width and sharp, flared finishing strokes add urgency and authority, making text feel headline-driven and deliberate.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional serif voice in a space-saving, high-impact format, combining condensed proportions with flared, wedge-ended details for strong presence and a print-forward character.
The design’s tight internal space and condensed set emphasize dark color on the page, especially in uppercase lines. Curves are smooth and restrained rather than calligraphic, and terminals consistently resolve into small wedges or flares, reinforcing a cohesive, engraved-like impression.
