This typeface is a condensed serif with subtly flared stroke endings and tapered terminals that give it a gently calligraphic edge. Strokes are largely even in weight with minimal contrast, producing a steady texture despite the narrow proportions. The letterforms are upright and cleanly drawn, with compact counters and a tight horizontal footprint; curves (such as in C, O, and G) are slender and vertically emphasized. Serifs and terminals read more as softened, wedge-like flares than bracketed serifs, helping the design stay crisp at display sizes while maintaining a traditional serif structure.
It works well for headlines and subheads where a condensed serif can save space without losing a traditional feel. The refined, flared detailing also suits book covers, magazine/editorial titling, posters, and brand wordmarks that want a classic voice with a slightly contemporary, streamlined silhouette.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, with a reserved formality that recalls editorial and book typography. Its narrow, upright stance adds a slightly austere, dignified voice, while the flared endings keep it from feeling mechanical or purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif cues with a space-saving condensed structure, using flared terminals to add warmth and craft. It aims for a composed, readable texture that feels at home in editorial and literary contexts while staying distinctive in display settings.
In the sample text, the condensed rhythm creates strong vertical emphasis and an efficient line fit, with punctuation and numerals matching the same tapered, upright construction. The narrow apertures and compact counters contribute to a dense, authoritative color, especially in longer lines of text.
