A compact, sturdy serif with bracketed terminals and a firm, even rhythm. Strokes are robust with moderate contrast, producing dark, text-forward color, especially in capitals. Serifs are relatively short and controlled, with gentle bracketing rather than slab-like abruptness, and counters are moderately tight. The lowercase shows a traditional structure with a two-storey “g” and “a”, a compact “e” with a horizontal bar, and a relatively tall, straight-sided “m” and “n”. Numerals follow the same strong, condensed proportions, reading clearly with restrained detailing and consistent vertical stress.
Works well for headlines, subheads, and titling where a compact width and strong serif structure help maximize impact in limited space. It also suits editorial layouts and newspaper-style typography that benefit from a traditional, authoritative voice and a consistent, dark typographic color.
The font conveys a classic, institutional tone—confident and matter-of-fact rather than ornamental. Its condensed, weighty presence feels editorial and authoritative, suited to settings where seriousness and clarity are desired.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, dependable serif voice with a space-saving footprint and strong presence. Its restrained detailing and sturdy proportions prioritize clarity and emphasis for editorial and display contexts without leaning into decorative novelty.
In the text sample, the dense letterfit and strong verticals create a prominent, headline-ready texture, while the moderate contrast and conventional serif modeling keep it grounded for extended reading at larger text sizes. Round letters like O/C maintain a controlled, slightly narrow oval, supporting a compact overall footprint.
