A tall, condensed serif with sturdy vertical stems and subtly tapered, flared terminals that broaden into wedge-like endings. The forms are largely monolinear in feel, with gentle modulation and crisp stroke joins that keep counters open despite the narrow set. Serifs read as bracketed and integrated into the stems, giving the letters a carved, slightly calligraphic rhythm rather than a rigid geometric construction. Overall spacing appears compact, emphasizing a vertical cadence and strong columnar texture in words and lines.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and titling where a condensed width helps fit more characters per line while maintaining impact. It can work well for book and magazine covers, theatrical or event materials, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a confident, classic serif presence.
The font conveys a dramatic, editorial tone with a touch of vintage sophistication. Its compressed proportions and emphatic terminals create an assertive voice suited to statements and headlines, while the restrained contrast keeps it grounded and readable at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact serif voice by combining condensed proportions with flared, wedge-like terminals. It balances traditional serif cues with a slightly stylized, engraved texture to stand out in display typography while remaining orderly and legible.
The lowercase shows a compact, efficient footprint with clear differentiation between similar shapes, and the numerals maintain the same tall, condensed stance for consistent typographic color. In the sample text, the flared stroke endings add texture and personality without becoming overly ornamental, especially in repeated verticals and tight word shapes.
