A narrow serif with moderately tapered strokes and a steady, readable rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often sharpen into forked or spurred terminals, giving stems a slightly ornamental finish without becoming decorative. Curves are compact and controlled, with crisp joins and a consistent vertical stress; counters stay relatively small, reinforcing the condensed color on the page. Numerals follow the same narrow proportions and pointed serif treatment, producing a cohesive, print-like texture across mixed text.
Works well for book and long-form editorial typography where a narrow measure and traditional serif voice are desirable. It also suits magazine headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from a refined, slightly spurred signature without overt flourish.
The tone is classic and bookish, with a faintly old-world sharpness from its spurs and tapered endings. It feels formal and composed rather than friendly, suggesting tradition and editorial seriousness.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif reading experience in a space-saving width, using forked/spurred terminals to add recognizable character while keeping the overall construction disciplined and text-capable.
In text sizes the condensed width creates a dark, efficient column, while the distinctive spurred terminals add character in display settings. The italic is not shown; the style presented reads as a straightforward roman with ornamental terminal cues.
