A condensed serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and sharp, bracketed serifs. Strokes often swell through vertical stems and taper into fine hairlines, creating a lively, engraved-like rhythm. Proportions are tall and narrow with relatively compact lowercase, and the forms show subtle irregularities and calligraphic inflections that keep the texture from feeling purely mechanical.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, pull quotes, book and magazine titling, posters, and packaging that benefits from a condensed, traditional serif voice. It can also work for short blocks of text or captions when a more vintage, high-contrast texture is acceptable and space is limited.
This typeface conveys a classic, bookish tone with a slightly theatrical edge. Its crisp contrast and condensed stance give it a poised, authoritative voice that can feel formal and a bit dramatic, especially at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading impression while maximizing economy of width. Its high-contrast structure and slightly idiosyncratic details suggest a focus on characterful headings and short text where a distinctive, old-style flavor is desirable.
The figures show strong contrast and narrow set, with a particularly stylized ‘2’ and ‘3’ that read decorative in running numerals. In the sample text, the tight spacing and sharp hairlines create a crisp, slightly rugged texture that becomes more pronounced as size increases.
