This typeface is a condensed serif with a strongly vertical stance and tight letterfit. Strokes show clear, moderate thick–thin modulation, with sharp, bracketed serifs that read crisp at display sizes. Capitals are tall and narrow with small top serifs and tapered joins, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, text-seriffed construction with compact counters and a restrained rhythm. Numerals follow the same narrow proportions and align cleanly with the overall vertical emphasis.
Best suited to editorial headlines, book covers, posters, and titling where a narrow footprint is helpful and a classic serif voice is desired. It can also work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes, captions, and packaging copy where space is limited and a refined tone is important.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a slightly dramatic, old-style editorial flavor driven by its narrow proportions and sharp serif detailing. It feels formal and composed rather than casual, lending a sense of seriousness and refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading voice in a space-saving, condensed form, emphasizing verticality, crisp serifs, and a disciplined rhythm for composed, editorial typography.
In the sample text, the condensed width and tall ascenders create a high-waisted texture that stacks lines efficiently while maintaining a crisp, engraved-like finish. Curves (as in C, O, and S) stay controlled and narrow, reinforcing the typeface’s disciplined, columnar color.
