A compact, high-contrast serif with strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and crisp hairlines. Stems are firm and vertical, while joins and terminals show smooth modulation that gives counters a slightly sculpted, calligraphic feel. The lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with tight apertures and compact spacing, producing a dense, efficient rhythm. Numerals and capitals read cleanly and consistently, with a restrained, classic silhouette and a pronounced thick–thin pattern that becomes especially evident in curved letters.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where a compact serif with strong contrast can carry presence. It also fits book and magazine covers, formal posters, and branding that aims for a classic, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting seriousness and authority rather than casual friendliness. Its compact proportions and sharp finishing details add a slightly dramatic, old-world refinement suited to formal messaging and heritage aesthetics.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif interpretation with heightened contrast and compact proportions, balancing classic readability cues (bracketed serifs, upright structure) with a more assertive, display-leaning weight and texture.
At display and headline sizes the contrast and tapered terminals give the face a polished, engraved-like presence, while the tight letterforms create a strong vertical texture. In longer settings, the dense rhythm and narrow apertures can feel weighty, emphasizing a confident, declarative voice.
