A condensed serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a clean, vertical rhythm. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation with predominantly vertical stress, and the letterforms are tall and compact, giving lines a tight, economical texture. Curves are smooth and open, with neatly shaped bowls and clear joins, while terminals and serifs stay crisp without becoming spiky. Numerals follow the same narrow proportions and restrained contrast, blending seamlessly with the text color in running settings.
Well suited to space-conscious editorial typography such as newspapers, magazines, and book interiors where a narrow measure or high information density is needed. It also fits academic or institutional documents and formal publishing where a conventional serif voice is preferred.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a quiet formality that reads as editorial and institutional. Its condensed proportions add a purposeful, no-nonsense efficiency while the classic serif detailing keeps the voice polished and credible.
The design appears intended to provide a condensed, traditional text serif that preserves familiar reading cues while conserving horizontal space. Its moderate contrast and restrained detailing aim for clarity and steadiness across longer passages rather than display-driven ornament.
The sample text shows an even, consistent color across words, with narrow spacing expectations and a distinctly vertical stance. Uppercase forms feel dignified and slightly monumental, while lowercase maintains straightforward, text-first shapes that support continuous reading.
