This serif typeface is strongly condensed with tall proportions and compact counters, producing a tight vertical rhythm. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs that end in sharp, wedge-like terminals rather than blunt slabs. The lowercase has a straightforward, bookish construction with a moderate x-height, narrow apertures, and a slightly upright, disciplined stance; ascenders and capitals rise prominently, reinforcing a narrow, columnar silhouette. Overall spacing appears compact, with an even, print-oriented texture that stays firm and dark in setting.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a condensed serif can add stature while conserving horizontal space. It can also work for editorial layouts, magazine titling, and book-cover typography that benefits from a classic, authoritative tone and a dense, vertical rhythm.
The overall tone feels traditional and editorial, with a serious, institutional voice. Its condensed, high-contrast build reads as formal and a bit dramatic, evoking newspapers, classic book typography, and heritage branding. The sharp terminals add a crisp, authoritative edge rather than softness or friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice in a space-saving, condensed format, balancing legibility with a dark, assertive presence. It prioritizes crisp finishing and a disciplined, upright structure to feel at home in editorial and heritage-oriented applications.
In the sample text, the condensed width helps pack words efficiently while maintaining a recognizable serif texture. The numerals and capitals share the same tall, narrow proportions, supporting a consistent headline and display presence alongside text-sized use.
