This typeface is a condensed serif with tapered, subtly flared stroke endings that read as small wedges rather than blunt slabs. Strokes stay relatively even, with only modest modulation, while terminals and serifs provide the main shaping and texture. The overall rhythm is vertical and compact, with tight letterforms and a crisp silhouette; curves are controlled and slightly squared off in places, and joins remain clean and disciplined. Numerals and capitals share the same narrow, upright stance, giving the set a consistent, columnar presence in text.
Well-suited to space-conscious editorial settings where a classical serif voice is needed, such as magazine headlines, subheads, and pull quotes. It can also work for book typography and formal collateral where a compact measure and a traditional tone are desirable, and for posters that benefit from tall, disciplined letterforms.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with a refined, bookish restraint. Its narrow build and crisp serif/terminal treatment lend it an efficient, archival feel that suggests editorial seriousness rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic serif impression in a compact footprint, using flared, tapered stroke endings to add character and clarity while keeping the overall texture controlled and readable.
In the sample text, the condensed proportions create a strong vertical cadence and an economical word shape, while the flared endings add a subtle calligraphic undertone without becoming ornamental. The overall color stays steady across lines, producing a composed, print-like texture.
