A condensed serif with tall proportions, crisp vertical stress, and subtly flared stroke endings that create wedge-like serifs. Strokes read mostly even, but the widening at terminals and tapered joins add a gentle calligraphic modulation and a sharp, chiseled finish. Counters are narrow and upright, with compact apertures and a tight overall rhythm that stacks well in narrow measures. Lowercase forms are slender and tidy, with a single-storey a and g, short crossbars, and clean, centered punctuation.
Best suited for headlines and display settings where a compact, vertical texture is desirable—such as posters, book covers, editorial titling, and brand marks that need a refined, traditional edge. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when space is limited, though the condensed counters suggest avoiding very small sizes in dense body text.
The tone is classic and slightly dramatic, combining an editorial seriousness with a crisp, engraved-like elegance. Its narrow stance and sharp terminals give it a poised, authoritative voice suited to traditional and institutional contexts.
The design appears aimed at delivering a space-saving serif with a formal, classical character, using flared terminals and wedge-like serifs to evoke traditional typography while maintaining a clean, upright structure.
Capitals are stately and vertical, with pointed apexes and controlled curves that keep round letters tight. Numerals are narrow and tall, matching the condensed texture; the 0 is oval and the 1 is simple and upright, supporting clear alignment in tables or headings.
