This typeface is a condensed serif with sturdy verticals and subtly flared stroke endings that widen into wedge-like serifs. The contrast is moderate, with clear thick–thin modulation that stays controlled in both capitals and lowercase. Shapes are compact and tall, with tight internal counters and a steady vertical rhythm; joins and shoulders are firm, giving letters like n, m, and h a solid, built-up feel. Serifs and terminals are sharply defined and slightly splayed, producing a chiseled, print-like finish that remains consistent across the alphabet and numerals.
It performs best in display settings such as headlines, subheads, pull quotes, posters, and book or magazine titling where its condensed build can save space while keeping impact. It can also serve branding that wants a classic, authoritative voice, especially in short wordmarks or lockups.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, conveying authority and tradition without feeling delicate. Its condensed proportions and crisp finishing add urgency and clarity, making it feel suited to headlines that need to sound decisive and established.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice in a space-efficient, high-impact form, using flared terminals and wedge-like serifs to add character and punch while keeping the texture cohesive in larger sizes.
Capitals are strong and monumental, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, workmanlike structure with compact bowls and concise apertures. Numerals match the weight and density of the letters, reading as sturdy and headline-oriented in this style.
