A condensed serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and a distinctly engraved rhythm. Strokes show moderated contrast with tapering joins and wedge-like endings rather than blunt slab feet. Capitals are tall and narrow with sharp apexes and slightly swelling stems, while lowercase forms keep a compact, vertical structure with a single-storey g and a narrow, open e. Curves (C, G, S, O) feel taut and ovalized, and the overall spacing reads tight but consistent, emphasizing a vertical, column-like texture in text.
Best suited to display typography where condensed width and flared detailing can carry personality—magazine and editorial headlines, book covers, posters, and distinctive brand wordmarks. It can also work for short pull quotes or section heads, especially where a refined, historical-leaning voice is desired.
The tone is poised and slightly dramatic, mixing classical bookish manners with a fashion-forward narrowness. Its flared endings and drawn-by-pen inflections suggest tradition and craft, while the compressed proportions add a contemporary, high-impact edge.
Likely designed to deliver a classic serif voice in a space-saving, high-impact width, using flared terminals and subtle stroke modulation to keep forms lively and ornamental without becoming overly ornate.
The numerals follow the same tall, condensed logic and maintain the font’s tapered, flaring finish, helping figures sit comfortably in display settings. Overall the design prioritizes verticality and silhouette, making it most convincing when size and leading give the narrow counters room to breathe.
