A compact serif with tall, condensed proportions, crisp terminals, and bracketed serifs that taper into the stems. Strokes show a clear calligraphic influence: rounds are slightly flattened, joins are tight, and curves resolve into sharp beak-like ends on forms such as C, S, and the lowercase a. The rhythm is vertical and efficient, with narrow counters and strong stem emphasis, while diagonals (V, W, X) remain sturdy and clean. Numerals are narrow and sturdy, with simple, legible shapes and minimal ornamentation.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where a condensed serif can save space while maintaining a strong traditional voice. It can work effectively in editorial layouts, book covers, and branding systems that want a classic, authoritative feel with a slightly theatrical edge. In longer passages it will favor larger sizes and comfortable leading due to its tight counters and dense color.
The overall tone feels traditional and editorial, combining a sober, bookish foundation with a slightly dramatic, old-style flair. Its condensed stance and sharp finishing details add urgency and authority, suggesting classic newspaper or poster typography rather than casual everyday UI text.
Likely designed to deliver a classic serif voice in a space-saving width, balancing conventional text-serif structure with sharper, more characterful terminals for display impact. The consistent vertical stress and tapered serif treatment suggest an aim for strong typographic color and clear hierarchy in editorial and titling settings.
Uppercase forms read stately and columnar, while the lowercase introduces more character through beaked terminals and compact bowls. The font maintains a consistent, disciplined texture in running text, with punctuation and dots appearing firm and visually present at display sizes.
