A tightly condensed serif with tall proportions, crisp stems, and bracketed serifs that read as lightly flared rather than slabby. Contrast is moderate, with relatively sturdy verticals and slimmer connecting strokes that keep counters open despite the narrow set. Terminals show small idiosyncrasies—subtle hooks and tapered ends—giving the shapes a slightly hand-cut, engraved feel while remaining consistent and text-capable. The rhythm is vertical and upright, with long ascenders and descenders adding an elegant, column-like texture in paragraphs.
Works best in space-efficient applications such as headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and cover typography where a tall, compact serif texture is desirable. It also suits packaging and labels that benefit from a classic, crafted tone, and can hold up in short editorial passages when set with comfortable leading.
The overall tone is vintage and editorial, evoking book typography, newspaper heads, or classic labeling. Its condensed stance and sharp serifs feel serious and literary, while the slightly quirky terminals add character without tipping into novelty.
Likely drawn to deliver a compact, high-impact serif for display use, balancing traditional bookish cues with small decorative inflections. The design prioritizes vertical elegance and economy of width while preserving legibility through open counters and disciplined stroke modulation.
Uppercase forms stay compact and stately, and the lowercase maintains a clear, readable silhouette with prominent ascenders/descenders that help word-shapes differentiate at display sizes. Numerals follow the same narrow, tall logic, aligning well with headings and tabular-like runs where space is tight.
