A condensed serif with subtly flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that broaden into terminals rather than forming heavy brackets. Strokes maintain an even, low-contrast texture, while corners and joins show a faint calligraphic shaping that gives the forms a slightly lively, carved feel. Proportions are tall and narrow with tight interior counters, producing a crisp vertical rhythm; numerals and capitals keep a similarly upright, compact stance for a consistent, disciplined color in text.
Well suited to headlines and subheads where space is limited, as well as editorial layouts that benefit from a compact, traditional serif presence. It can also support book-cover titling, posters, and heritage-leaning packaging where a disciplined, classic tone is desired.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—serious and composed—with a lightly historical, print-like character. Its narrowness and sharp, flared terminals add a touch of drama and authority without becoming ornate or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif feel in a space-saving, condensed footprint, using flared terminals and wedge serifs to preserve warmth and legibility while maintaining a strong vertical rhythm.
In the sample text, the compact widths create strong line economy and a dense, newspaper-like texture, while the flared terminals keep the strokes from feeling mechanical. Punctuation and figures read cleanly at display/text crossover sizes, with a distinctly traditional serif voice.
