A condensed, high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and sharp, tapered serifs. Stems are thick and upright while hairlines stay fine, creating a crisp black-and-white rhythm suited to display sizes. Serifs tend toward wedge-like, slightly bracketed forms, and many terminals finish with pointed or beaked cuts rather than blunt endings. The overall texture is compact and vertical, with tight interior counters and a strong emphasis on tall capitals and narrow letterfit.
This face is well suited to headlines, magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts, and title treatments where a compact width helps fit longer lines. It also works effectively for book covers, mastheads, and pull quotes that benefit from a classic serif voice with extra punch at larger sizes.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with an editorial and literary flavor reminiscent of classic book typography pushed toward a more dramatic, display-oriented contrast. Its condensed stance and sharp finishing details give it a slightly severe, formal presence that reads as confident and institutional.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and a compressed footprint, optimizing impact and elegance in display typography while maintaining recognizable, traditional letterforms.
In the samples, the strong contrast and narrow apertures produce a dense typographic color, especially in all-caps settings. The numerals follow the same condensed, high-contrast logic, pairing well with headlines where a compact footprint and sharp silhouette are desired.
