A tall, tightly set serif design with pronounced flared stroke endings and crisp, wedge-like terminals. Stems show clear thick–thin modulation without becoming overly delicate, and many joins pinch slightly, giving the letterforms a sculpted, engraved feel. Capitals are narrow and vertical, with sharp apexes and cleanly tapered cross-strokes, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with compact bowls and restrained curves. Numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast construction, reading crisp and formal at display sizes.
It is well suited to headlines, mastheads, and editorial titling where a narrow footprint and formal presence are useful. The sculpted flares and crisp terminals also make it a strong choice for book covers, cultural posters, and branding that aims for a classic, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is traditional and literate, with a courtroom or editorial seriousness. Its narrow, upright stance and flared finishing details add a refined, slightly dramatic voice that feels historical rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice in a condensed, space-efficient form while adding distinction through flared endings and engraved-like modulation. It prioritizes vertical elegance and strong typographic color for titles and prominent text.
The font’s vertical emphasis and tapered finishing create strong word shapes in headlines, but the tight internal spaces and sharp detailing suggest it will benefit from generous tracking and comfortable line spacing in longer settings.
