A condensed serif with sharp, flared terminals and triangular, spurred serifs that give strokes a carved, blade-like finish. The construction reads as low-contrast overall, but with noticeable tapering at joins and endings, producing a crisp, chiseled texture in text. Capitals are tall and narrow with pointed apexes and pronounced feet, while lowercase maintains a compact rhythm with relatively tight apertures and short-looking extenders. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright stance and display small wedge-like terminals that keep the set visually consistent.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, book and film titling, posters, mastheads, and identity marks where its condensed width and spurred serifs can create a strong, memorable texture. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes, especially when a classic, print-forward voice is desired.
The font conveys a vintage, literary tone—refined and slightly theatrical—suggesting old-world print, classic publishing, and period titling. Its sharp terminals and compressed silhouette add drama and authority without becoming overly delicate, giving it an editorial seriousness with a decorative edge.
The design appears intended to merge a traditional serif foundation with more stylized, flared terminals to create a distinctive, period-leaning display serif. Its condensed proportions and crisp finishing suggest an emphasis on strong verticality and dramatic word shapes for attention-getting titling.
Text samples show a dense, high-impact gray value at larger sizes, with distinctive word shapes driven by compression and pointed terminals. The detailing in serifs and stroke endings is a key identifier, so the face reads most characterful when sizes are large enough for those spurs and tapers to remain clear.
