A condensed serif with an italic slant and brisk, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with tight apertures and compact counters, while bracketed serifs and tapered terminals keep the forms sharp rather than heavy. Capitals are tall and narrow with emphatic vertical stress; lowercase maintains a steady x-height and uses lively joins and teardrop-like terminals on letters such as a, c, e, and r. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright proportion with clean curves and compact bowls, supporting dense setting without losing definition.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial titling where a condensed footprint is valuable and the italic motion can add emphasis. It can also work for book covers, period-inspired branding, and poster typography that needs strong verticality and a classic serif voice in limited horizontal space.
The overall tone feels editorial and slightly old-world, combining authority with a theatrical, headline-ready energy. Its narrow stance and active italic movement suggest urgency and sophistication, evoking classic newspaper or book typography with a more dramatic, display-leaning edge.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif reading voice with heightened impact, using narrow proportions and an italic, calligraphic flow to fit more text per line while maintaining a refined, authoritative presence.
Spacing appears intentionally tight, producing a dark, continuous texture that reads confidently at larger sizes. Distinctive shapes—like the curved tail on J, the sharp diagonals on V/W, and the compact, hooked forms in g/j/y—add personality while keeping the family of forms visually consistent.
