A condensed serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings that often taper into point-like terminals. Vertical strokes are prominent and steady, while curves are narrow and tightly drawn, creating a tall, high-waisted silhouette across both cases. Serifs read as delicate wedges rather than flat slabs, and many joins and terminals show a subtle calligraphic swell that keeps the texture lively without becoming ornate. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be controlled, giving the face a crisp, columnar rhythm in text.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium editorial settings where its condensed proportions and sharp finishing can add sophistication—magazine headlines, book and journal covers, poster titles, pull quotes, and branded collateral. It can also work for compact subheads where a classical, high-contrast-looking texture is desired without heavy ornamentation.
The overall tone is poised and slightly dramatic: tall proportions and sharp terminals evoke classic print typography and a boutique editorial sensibility. It feels formal and curated, with a faint antique flavor that suggests literature, fashion, or cultural institutions rather than utilitarian UI.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-forward serif voice in a space-saving width, using flared terminals and tapered details to add refinement and personality. It aims for an elevated, cultured look that stands out in headlines while maintaining enough regularity to remain coherent in running text.
Capitals have a statuesque presence with narrow widths and refined finishing, while the lowercase maintains clarity through simple, upright construction and consistent spacing. Numerals follow the same tall, narrow logic and retain the pointed, flared detailing, making figures feel integrated rather than an afterthought.
