A tall, tightly set serif with noticeably condensed proportions and a restrained, readable rhythm. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with tapered joins and bracketed, lightly flared serifs that give terminals a pinched, calligraphic finish rather than a blunt cut. Curves are narrow and vertical, counters are compact, and ascenders/descenders feel prominent against a comparatively low x-height. Overall spacing and letterfit favor a vertical, column-like texture with occasional decorative quirks in curves and terminals.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial titling where its condensed width helps pack words into limited space without losing a classic serif voice. It also fits book covers, cultural posters, and branding systems that want a literary, period-tinged tone with a touch of decorative individuality.
The tone feels vintage and literary, like a display serif drawn from old book titling or poster work, but with a slightly eccentric, mannered edge. Its narrow stance and elegant tapering create a poised, theatrical presence that reads as refined yet characterful.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic serif impression in a space-saving, high-impact form, combining traditional contrast and bracketed serifs with slightly idiosyncratic terminal shaping to stand out in display settings.
The narrow bowls and compact apertures make the face look crisp at larger sizes, while the combination of strong vertical stress and tapered terminals creates a distinctive, slightly “pinched” silhouette in both capitals and lowercase. Figures follow the same condensed, high-contrast logic, aligning well with the font’s tall overall color.
