A condensed serif with tall proportions, crisp terminals, and a slightly wiry, drawn look. Strokes show noticeable but controlled contrast, with sharp wedge-like serifs and tapered joins that give many letters a pinched, spiky finish. The uppercase feels high-waisted and narrow, while the lowercase stays compact with a straightforward, readable skeleton. Curves in letters like C, S, and O are tight and verticalized, and figures are similarly narrow with small, clean terminals.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and titling where a narrow footprint and distinctive serif bite are desirable. It can work well for book covers and editorial display, particularly when you want a classic voice with a more unusual, characterful finish. For long passages, it will feel more intense and compact than a typical text serif, so generous leading and sizing help.
The overall tone is bookish and old-world, with a hint of eccentricity from the sharp serifs and taut, upright rhythm. It reads as serious and refined at a glance, but the slightly idiosyncratic detailing adds a decorative, theatrical edge.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif impression in a compressed, space-efficient form while adding personality through sharp, tapered serifs and tightened curves. The intent appears to balance legibility with a decorative, slightly unconventional detailing that stands out in display settings.
In text, the font creates strong vertical color and a brisk cadence, especially in mixed-case lines. The condensed width emphasizes economy and intensity, making word shapes stack tightly and lending prominence to capitals and numerals.
