A compact, high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and sharply tapered hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and fairly pronounced, creating crisp joins and a traditional rhythm, while the overall proportions stay tight and efficient. Capitals are sturdy and slightly condensed with wedge-like terminals in places; lowercase forms are upright with clear counters and a controlled, even color despite the contrast. Numerals match the text style, with tall, narrow forms and emphatic thick-thin transitions that read best when given breathing room.
Well suited to headlines, display typography, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It can work for book covers, mastheads, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a condensed, authoritative look, especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is classical and editorial, conveying authority and formality with a slightly dramatic edge. Its condensed stance and crisp serifs suggest traditional publishing and institutional use, while the contrast adds a refined, attention-grabbing presence in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice in a space-saving, display-friendly form, balancing strong vertical structure with refined hairlines for a polished, print-minded impression.
At larger sizes the thin strokes and tight internal spaces become part of the character, producing a sharp, engraved feel; at smaller sizes the finer details may require careful sizing and spacing to preserve clarity. The overall spacing appears deliberate and compact, supporting dense setting without losing structure.
