A condensed serif with strong vertical emphasis, narrow proportions, and subtly sculpted stems that widen into flared terminals. The stroke contrast is noticeable but controlled, with crisp joins and sharp, tapered endings that feel more chiseled than bracketed. Capitals are tall and stately, while the lowercase shows a high x-height and compact counters that keep the texture dense and rhythmic. Overall spacing and sidebearings read tight, producing a firm, columnar color in both the grid and text setting.
Best suited for headlines, magazine titling, posters, and branding where a condensed serif can deliver impact in limited horizontal space. It can also work for short bursts of text—such as pull quotes or subheads—when a dense, stylish texture is desired, though the narrow counters suggest using comfortable sizes and spacing for readability.
The font conveys an editorial, slightly theatrical tone—formal and literary, with a hint of vintage display flavor. Its condensed stance and flared endings create a confident, poster-like presence that feels at home in classic headlines and curated brand language.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient serif voice with a distinctive flared finish—combining a classic editorial structure with sharpened, contemporary edge. Its high-waisted lowercase and tall, narrow capitals aim to produce strong hierarchy and a memorable silhouette in display settings.
In the sample text, the narrow width and tall forms create an assertive vertical cadence, and the flared terminals add character without becoming ornate. Numerals match the condensed, upright rhythm and sit comfortably alongside the uppercase, reinforcing a consistent, disciplined voice.
