A condensed serif with tall, vertical proportions and a tight overall rhythm. Strokes are strongly straightened and upright, with moderate contrast and crisp hairlines that sharpen into tapered, bracketed serifs. Curves are narrow and controlled, counters are relatively small, and many forms feel high-waisted with a slightly compressed bowl structure. Terminals tend to be pointed or wedged rather than blunt, giving the face a sharp, engraved-like finish in both text and display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and prominent editorial settings where a compact width helps fit more characters per line without losing a classic serif voice. It can also work for book covers, poster titling, and branded print applications that want a traditional, authoritative tone.
The tone is formal and editorial, projecting authority and a slightly dramatic sophistication. Its narrow stance and crisp serifs evoke newspaper headlines, book typography, and traditional publishing while still feeling punchy and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended as a space-efficient, classic serif for publishing-oriented typography, combining a condensed build with crisp, tapered serifs to maintain elegance and impact at larger sizes.
In the sample text, the condensed width creates strong vertical texture and dense word shapes, especially in all caps. The numerals follow the same tall, narrow pattern and read as display-friendly, with pronounced contrast and clear serifed structure.
