A condensed serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and a disciplined vertical stance. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with tapered joins and sharpened ends that create a chiseled, calligraphic feel rather than blunt slab forms. Proportions are tall and economical, with narrow counters and compact sidebearings that produce a tight, rhythmic texture in lines of text. The lowercase presents clean, sturdy shapes with slightly pinched curves and a two-storey “g,” while capitals read as tall, stately forms with controlled weight distribution.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where a compact width is useful and a traditional voice is desired. It can work for editorial design, book or magazine titling, posters, and identity applications that benefit from a refined, slightly calligraphic serif without resorting to heavy ornament.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting seriousness and a slightly old-world elegance. Its narrow, tapered forms add a hint of drama and refinement, suggesting traditional print culture and formal display typography.
Likely designed to deliver a classical serif impression in a space-saving, condensed footprint, combining calligraphic flare with clean, controlled construction. The emphasis appears to be on legible, dignified display text with a distinctive vertical rhythm.
The design’s consistent flare at stroke endings helps maintain presence in small spaces, while the condensed build creates strong vertical emphasis in words and headlines. Numerals follow the same tall, tapered logic, keeping the texture cohesive across mixed alphanumeric settings.
