A condensed serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a disciplined vertical stance. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation without becoming hairline, giving counters a clean, open feel despite the narrow proportions. Terminals are generally sharp and tapered, with occasional subtle curvature in joins; the overall rhythm is even and text-like, with compact spacing and a tall, streamlined silhouette across capitals and ascenders.
Well suited to editorial settings where space economy matters, such as magazines, newspapers, and book typography with tight measure. It also performs effectively for narrow headlines, subheads, and captions that need a classic serif voice without excessive flourish.
The tone is traditional and literary, with a composed, slightly austere elegance. Its narrow build and crisp detailing suggest formality and authority, evoking classic publishing and institutional typography rather than casual or playful use.
The design appears intended as a conventional, space-saving text serif that preserves traditional proportions, clear modulation, and familiar serif detailing. Its condensed build suggests an emphasis on fitting more characters per line while maintaining an authoritative, publishable look.
Uppercase forms read stately and upright, while lowercase maintains a steady, bookish cadence with compact bowls and clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals are similarly condensed and legible, keeping a consistent serifed treatment and vertical emphasis that aligns well with running text and titling.
