A condensed serif with tall proportions, strong vertical stress, and pronounced flaring at stroke terminals that reads as a refined, engraved-like serif rather than a slab. Stems and diagonals keep a steady, weighty presence while counters stay relatively tight, producing a compact rhythm and dense texture. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, with tapered joins and crisp corners that give the shapes a chiseled feel. The overall construction is clean and upright, with a consistent, display-oriented finish across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Works best for headlines, subheads, and short blocks where its condensed width and flared terminals can carry personality without overcrowding. It’s a strong fit for editorial titling, branding wordmarks, packaging labels, and signage that benefits from a traditional yet emphatic serif voice.
The tone is formal and commanding, with a classic, old-world gravity that feels suited to headlines and nameplates. Its condensed stance and sharp terminal treatment add drama and urgency, evoking editorial tradition and heritage signaling more than casual friendliness.
Likely designed to deliver a compact, high-impact serif for display use, combining classic proportions with flared, chiseled terminals to maximize presence in narrow widths while maintaining a traditional, authoritative character.
In text settings the tight sidebearings and narrow forms create a strong, continuous color, and the flared terminals become a defining texture at larger sizes. Numerals match the caps in weight and stance, reinforcing a steady, poster-like presence.
