A tightly condensed serif with tall proportions and a lively, slightly irregular texture. Strokes show moderate contrast with a subtle calligraphic influence, and terminals often flare into bracketed, wedge-like serifs rather than flat slabs. Curves and joins have a lightly inked, press-like character—especially visible in the lowercase and numerals—giving the outlines a gently organic rhythm while staying structurally upright and consistent. Spacing appears compact, reinforcing the vertical emphasis and economical line setting.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and titling where a condensed serif can pack impact into limited width. It also works well for book covers and editorial layouts that want a classic print flavor, and for packaging or labels seeking a traditional, slightly idiosyncratic voice.
The overall tone feels vintage and editorial, evoking old-style printed matter and display typography from traditional publishing. Its narrow stance and pointed serifs add a touch of drama and eccentricity, making text feel literary and slightly theatrical without becoming overtly decorative.
The design appears intended to provide a space-efficient serif with a historically flavored, press-inspired texture—combining conventional text-serif structure with sharper, more characterful terminals for stronger display presence.
Uppercase forms are stately and narrow with pronounced vertical stress, while the lowercase carries more personality in its curves and terminals. Numerals follow the same condensed, high-contrast logic, reading clearly at display sizes and contributing to a cohesive, old-print color on the page.
