A condensed serif with subtly flared stroke endings and crisp, sculpted serifs that taper into the stems. The design shows clear vertical stress and moderate thick–thin modulation, with narrow counters and a compact, efficient footprint. Capitals are tall and authoritative, while lowercase forms keep a straightforward, readable construction with relatively tall ascenders and tidy, minimally rounded curves. Numerals follow the same narrow rhythm, with clean, upright forms and sharp terminals that maintain consistent texture in lines of text.
Best suited to space-conscious headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where a compact width and strong vertical emphasis help fit more characters per line. It can work well for posters and book or magazine covers that benefit from a classic, authoritative serif presence, particularly at larger sizes where the flared endings and contrast remain clear.
The overall tone feels editorial and traditional, with a slightly dramatic, old-style seriousness created by the condensed proportions and flared finishing. It reads as formal and composed rather than playful, lending a disciplined, print-like presence to headlines and short blocks of text.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional serif voice in a condensed, economical format, balancing crisp detail with steady readability. Its flared terminals and controlled contrast suggest an intention to evoke a refined print sensibility while maintaining a strong, efficient headline rhythm.
The condensed width produces a dense typographic color and a strong vertical cadence, especially noticeable in runs of capitals. Flared terminals and pointed joins add a carved, calligraphic nuance without becoming decorative, keeping the voice restrained and professional.
