A condensed serif with tall proportions and a strongly vertical stance. Strokes stay fairly even in weight, while terminals and serifs widen into subtle flares and soft, bracketed joins that give the shapes a carved, calligraphic finish. Curves are compact and neatly controlled, counters are relatively tight, and the overall rhythm is vertical and disciplined, producing a crisp, column-like texture in text. Numerals and capitals follow the same narrow, high-contrast-in-feel (through shape rather than stroke) construction, with pointed apexes and tapered details that sharpen the silhouette.
Works well for headlines, magazine and journal titling, and book-cover typography where a condensed serif can save space while still signaling tradition and polish. It can also serve as an accent face for pull quotes, section openers, or packaging that benefits from a narrow, classic voice.
The tone reads literary and editorial, with a vintage flavor reminiscent of classic book typography and engraved display work. Its narrow, upright presence feels serious and slightly theatrical, suited to settings where a refined, authoritative voice is desired without heavy ornament.
The likely intention is to provide a space-efficient serif with a distinctive flared finish—combining the practicality of condensed proportions with a historically tinged, engraved elegance for display and editorial use.
The design’s character comes less from stroke contrast and more from its flared terminals, tight internal spaces, and tall proportions. In running text it forms a dense, high-ink color, and in larger sizes the distinctive flaring and bracketed serifs become a key identifying detail.
