A condensed serif with tall proportions, narrow counters, and a steady, low-contrast stroke. The serifs are sharply shaped and often bracketed or subtly flared, with distinctive spurs and forked-looking terminals that add texture to vertical stems and joins. Curves are taut and upright, giving bowls and rounds a slightly compressed feel, while the overall rhythm stays crisp and even. The lowercase appears compact with firm verticals and a clear, traditional italic-free stance in the roman, producing a clean, disciplined line of text.
Well-suited to headlines and short blocks of editorial text where a condensed serif can add character and save space. It will also work effectively for posters, book covers, and branding applications that benefit from a vintage, literary voice and crisp typographic texture.
The font conveys a bookish, old-world tone with a hint of theatrical flair. Its spurred details and sharp serifs add personality without becoming overly decorative, suggesting classic print culture—posters, playbills, and editorial headlines—rather than minimalist modernism.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional condensed serif for display and editorial use, adding signature spurs and forked terminals to differentiate the face while preserving legibility and an even typographic color.
The narrow letterforms create strong vertical emphasis and allow dense setting, while the pointed terminals and spurs become more noticeable as size increases. Numerals follow the same condensed, upright logic, keeping a consistent color and texture alongside the alphabet.
