A condensed serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and tapered, wedge-like terminals. Vertical stems dominate the rhythm, while curves are drawn with a controlled, slightly calligraphic modulation that gives counters a tall, narrow profile. Capitals feel stately and compact with sharp apexes (notably in A and V/W), and the lowercase maintains a tidy, readable structure with restrained, slightly curved finishing strokes. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction, keeping the overall texture tight and even in continuous text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and display typography where its condensed width and flared terminals can add distinction. It can also work for editorial titling and book-jacket copy when a classic, slightly dramatic voice is desired, especially where horizontal space is limited.
The tone is refined and literary, mixing old-style warmth with a crisp, stage-ready sharpness. Its narrow proportions and flared finishes create a dramatic, poster-like presence while still reading as traditional and bookish rather than experimental.
Likely intended as a space-saving display serif that delivers a traditional, cultured feel while standing out through flared terminals and a tall, narrow silhouette. The design emphasizes verticality and crisp finishing strokes to project elegance and authority in titles and prominent text.
The face builds its personality from tapered endings rather than heavy bracketed serifs, producing a subtle engraved or brush-cut impression. Spacing and proportions create a compact gray value, so the font reads with a vertical, elegant cadence in longer lines.
