A tightly compressed serif with sturdy, dark stems and subtly flared stroke endings that read as wedge-like serifs rather than slabs. Curves are taut and upright, with rounded forms pulled narrow (notably in O, C, and G) and counters kept compact for a dense, vertical rhythm. Terminals often resolve into small teardrop-like or tapered finishes, and joins are crisp, giving the design a sculpted, engraved feel. Lowercase shows compact, upright construction with a modest x-height and short extenders, while numerals follow the same condensed, weighty, vertical emphasis.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where space is tight and a strong, traditional voice is needed. It can perform effectively in posters, book covers, and editorial titling, and as a branding type for names and wordmarks that benefit from a condensed, authoritative serif presence.
The overall tone is formal and assertive, with a vintage editorial flavor that feels theatrical and slightly Victorian. Its narrow stance and emphatic verticality convey seriousness and urgency, making lines of text feel packed, declarative, and poster-like.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow measure by combining a condensed skeleton with flared, tapered endings for a classic, carved-serif character. It aims to balance traditional serif familiarity with heightened vertical drama for display-driven typography.
The typeface maintains consistent width compression across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing strong alignment and a steady columnar texture. In longer settings the dense counters and heavy color increase impact but suggest best use at display sizes where the flared endings and tapered terminals remain clear.
