A tightly set, condensed serif with tall proportions and a compact rhythm. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with bracketed wedge-like serifs and crisp, slightly angular terminals. Capitals are narrow and vertical with small, controlled apertures, while lowercase forms keep a straightforward, text-oriented construction; ascenders and descenders read long, contributing to a vertical, columnar feel. Numerals match the narrow set and maintain the same restrained contrast and serif treatment for a consistent texture.
Well-suited to editorial layouts where space is at a premium, such as newspapers, magazines, and dense book pages. It can also work effectively for headlines and subheads that need a classic serif tone without consuming much horizontal space, producing a compact, authoritative line in posters, programs, and traditional branding.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a disciplined, authoritative presence. Its narrow stance and sharp details evoke vintage print and newspaper typography, leaning formal rather than casual. The texture feels serious and composed, suitable for content that benefits from a classic voice.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional serif reading experience in a condensed footprint, balancing legibility with economy of space. Its bracketed serifs, controlled contrast, and upright posture suggest an intention to echo established print traditions while remaining practical for tight columns and prominent titling.
The design emphasizes verticality: many letters appear visually “pulled upward,” and the narrow counters create a dark, compact typographic color. Terminals and serifs are kept precise, which reinforces a crisp, print-like appearance when set at display sizes.
