A tightly condensed serif with pronounced flaring at stroke ends and wedge-like terminals that broaden into small, bracketed serifs. Stems are sturdy and vertical, while joins and shoulders show a subtle calligraphic taper, giving counters a slightly pinched, vertical emphasis. Curves are compact and upright, with modest stroke modulation that becomes most noticeable in the bowls and at the tapered entry/exit strokes. Overall spacing and rhythm feel disciplined and vertical, producing a tall, columnar texture in both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and titling where vertical economy is valuable and the flared terminals can contribute character at size. It can also work for short editorial passages such as pull quotes or chapter openers, especially in layouts that benefit from a tall, condensed text color.
The font reads as classic and editorial, with a slightly theatrical, headline-forward intensity. Its narrow proportions and emphatic terminals add a sense of authority and formality, evoking bookish, newspaper, or vintage display traditions without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, space-saving serif voice with added personality through flared stroke endings, balancing traditional letterforms with a more assertive, display-leaning finish.
Capitals present strong, monument-like silhouettes, while the lowercase keeps a traditional structure with compact bowls and sturdy verticals. Numerals follow the same condensed, upright stance, maintaining consistent weight and terminal behavior for cohesive text-and-figure settings.
