A condensed serif with tall proportions and pronounced vertical stress. Strokes show clear, calligraphic modulation: slender hairlines pair with sturdier main stems, and many terminals broaden into subtle flares rather than ending in flat slabs. The serifs are sharp and tapered, contributing to a crisp, slightly dramatic texture; apertures tend to be narrow, and counters are compact. In text, the rhythm is vertical and tightly packed, with a controlled, print-like finish.
Best suited to display settings where a compact width is useful—headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and cover typography. It can also work for short passages in editorial layouts when a classic serif voice is desired, particularly in narrow columns or space-constrained compositions.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a slightly dramatic, old-style sophistication. Its narrow, towering silhouette reads formal and assertive, evoking classic editorial typography and vintage book or poster settings without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice in a space-efficient, high-impact form. By combining condensed proportions with flared terminals and controlled contrast, it aims to provide strong presence at larger sizes while maintaining a cultivated, bookish character.
Uppercase forms are especially stately and columnar, while lowercase retains a traditional, readable structure with modest ascenders and descenders. Numerals match the condensed, upright character and maintain the same flared terminal logic, helping headlines and subheads feel consistent when mixed with text.
