A compact serif with strongly tapered, flared terminals that read as wedge-like serifs. Strokes stay relatively even in weight, with subtle narrowing through joins and small notch-like details that create an ink-trap feel in places. The proportions are tightly compressed with tall ascenders and a streamlined, vertical rhythm; counters are narrow and openings are crisp. Curves are firm rather than soft, and diagonals (as in V, W, Y) finish in sharp points that reinforce the tense, condensed texture.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium runs of text where a condensed, authoritative voice is desired—magazine features, book jackets, cultural posters, and branding that benefits from a traditional yet punchy serif. It can also work for pull quotes and section headers where vertical emphasis and dense texture help organize hierarchy.
The overall tone is classic and assertive, with a slightly gothic or poster-like drama. Its condensed, high-impact silhouette suggests seriousness and tradition, while the flared endings add a crafted, print-era character.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space, pairing a condensed build with flared, wedge-like terminals for a distinctive serif identity. The controlled stroke behavior and crisp detailing aim to keep text looking sharp and stable while maintaining a dramatic, vintage-leaning color on the page.
Capitals project a strong, columnar presence, and the lowercase maintains a consistent, editorial texture with tight spacing tendencies. Numerals follow the same compressed stance, keeping the set visually uniform across text and display sizes.
