A tightly set, compressed serif with wedge-like, flared terminals that broaden into sharp triangular serifs. Strokes stay largely even, with only subtle modulation, and the letterforms rely on tapered joins and pointed ends for character. Capitals are tall and narrow with crisp apexes and compact bowls; the lowercase is similarly condensed with a straight, upright stance and clean, economical counters. Numerals follow the same narrow rhythm, with angular finishing strokes and a consistent, vertical color.
It suits space-efficient headlines, magazine titling, and book-cover typography where a classic serif voice is desired but with extra bite and compression. It can also work for branding or packaging that benefits from a refined, authoritative look and a compact footprint.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, combining a traditional bookish feel with a slightly theatrical sharpness. Its pointed terminals and compressed proportions add tension and authority, making the texture feel decisive rather than soft or casual.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional serif reading of formality while maximizing economy of width. Flared, wedge-like terminals and condensed proportions suggest an intent to create a distinctive editorial voice that stays crisp and commanding at display sizes.
The design’s personality comes less from contrast and more from its flaring and tapering: many endings resolve into knife-like wedges, which gives headings a distinctive sparkle. In text settings the narrow build creates a dense, efficient line while still reading as a serif rather than a display face.
