A condensed serif with noticeably flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that give stems a subtly tapering, “widening into the terminals” feel. The contrast sits in a comfortable middle range, with crisp verticals and slimmer joins that keep texture lively without becoming delicate. Curves are compact and controlled, counters are relatively narrow, and the overall rhythm is tight and upright, producing a dense, column-friendly color. Numerals and capitals maintain the same narrow, vertical emphasis, with sturdy feet and clear stroke modulation for legibility at display sizes.
Well suited to headlines and deck typography where a condensed footprint is useful, such as magazines, newspapers, and book covers. The firm, high-contrast-yet-sturdy build also works for posters and branding applications that need a classic voice with a bit of distinctive flare.
The tone reads editorial and literary, with a classic, slightly old-style sensibility tempered by a clean, disciplined finish. Its narrow, authoritative stance and sharp terminal behavior lend it a formal, headline-ready presence that feels suited to traditional publishing and refined branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient serif for display and editorial settings, combining condensed proportions with flared terminals to create a recognizable, traditionally grounded texture. It prioritizes vertical momentum and clarity, aiming for strong presence without relying on extreme contrast or oversized serifs.
In running text the face forms a strong vertical cadence, with compact bowls and a consistent serif logic that reinforces a structured, institutional feel. The flared detailing adds character and warmth compared to a purely transitional serif, while still keeping the overall impression crisp and controlled.
