A compact serif with tall, slender proportions and a disciplined vertical axis. Strokes show gentle modulation, with tapered joins and subtly bracketed, lightly flared serifs that stay crisp at the ends. Counters are relatively small and the fit is tight, producing an economical, column-friendly rhythm. Uppercase forms feel stately and narrow, while the lowercase maintains a tidy, traditional structure with modest extenders and a compact, slightly pinched overall color.
Well suited to editorial and long-form settings where space efficiency matters, such as magazines, books, and academic or legal material. It can also serve as a refined secondary serif for captions, pull quotes, and formal print collateral where a narrow, traditional texture is desired.
The typeface conveys a classic, literary tone—reserved, orderly, and a bit old-world. Its narrow stance and crisp finishing lend it a formal, editorial voice rather than a casual one, suggesting care and precision.
The design appears aimed at delivering a conventional reading serif with a space-saving, condensed footprint and a composed, print-oriented rhythm. Its restrained detailing and consistent modulation prioritize a steady text color and a classic typographic voice.
Round letters (like O/C) read as tall ovals, reinforcing the condensed feel, and the numerals follow the same upright, narrow logic with clear, traditional shapes. Serifs are present but not heavy, so the face keeps a clean texture even at larger display sizes.
