A condensed serif with subtly flared terminals and bracketed serifs that create a gentle, calligraphic taper at stroke ends. Strokes stay relatively even in weight, with only mild modulation and crisp, clean joins. The vertical rhythm is strong and narrow, while bowls and counters are compact, giving the face a tall, economical texture. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly stylized, and the lowercase maintains clear, traditional proportions with modest extenders and a legible, straightforward construction.
Well suited to editorial design where a condensed serif can pack information efficiently—book pages, magazines, and newspaper-style layouts. It can also serve as a distinctive display face for headlines, posters, or packaging that benefits from a classic, slightly theatrical serif voice.
The overall tone is literary and vintage, suggesting classic printing and editorial typography rather than overt modernism. Its narrow stance and tapered details give it a poised, slightly dramatic presence suited to elegant, text-forward settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving serif with a traditional reading tone, using flared stroke endings to add warmth and a crafted feel without resorting to high contrast. Its consistent, narrow rhythm suggests an emphasis on dense setting and a refined, old-style character.
Numerals appear compact and readable with a traditional feel, and punctuation and dots are crisp and clearly separated. The design maintains a consistent narrow color across lines, producing an even, column-friendly texture when set in paragraphs.
