A condensed serif with pronounced stroke modulation and vertical stress, pairing strong, straight stems with sharply tapered hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and neatly finished, giving the forms a crisp, cut-on-paper feel rather than a geometric construction. Capitals are compact and firm, while the lowercase shows traditional proportions with a two-storey a and g, a narrow, upright rhythm, and compact counters that keep the overall color dark and even. Numerals follow the same condensed, high-contrast pattern with clear curves and decisive terminals.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a condensed footprint and strong contrast help create hierarchy. It can also work for mastheads, book covers, and brand wordmarks that need a traditional serif character with a compact, commanding stance.
The tone is classic and assertive, evoking traditional book and newspaper typography with a slightly dramatic, display-leaning presence. Its narrow proportions and strong contrast create a confident, authoritative voice that reads as formal and editorial.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional serif reading of authority and tradition while maximizing impact in tight horizontal space. Its emphasis on contrast, crisp serifs, and compact proportions suggests an intention to bridge editorial familiarity with display-level presence.
The design maintains consistent spacing and vertical rhythm across the alphabet, with distinctive ball/teardrop terminals appearing in several lowercase forms and punctuation-like details that add a refined, slightly theatrical texture. The condensed set widths help long words occupy less horizontal space while preserving a traditional serif silhouette.
