A tightly set, condensed serif with vertical proportions and a disciplined rhythm. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with stems subtly widening into wedge-like, flared terminals rather than using blunt slab endings. Serifs are sharp and concise, and joins stay crisp, giving counters a tall, clean geometry. Uppercase forms are narrow and stately; lowercase maintains a straightforward, readable structure with compact bowls and clear apertures. Numerals echo the same narrow build and tapered detailing for a consistent text color.
Well suited to editorial typography where a compact, polished serif is needed—magazines, book interiors, and long-form pull quotes. The condensed proportions also make it effective for headlines, posters, and titling in space-constrained layouts, as well as refined wordmarks that benefit from a tall, narrow silhouette.
The overall tone feels editorial and traditional, with a composed, bookish authority. Its sharp wedge terminals and condensed stance add a slightly dramatic, highbrow flavor without becoming ornamental, suggesting seriousness and refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice in a space-saving width, using flared, wedge-like terminals to add character and firmness to the vertical strokes. It aims for an elegant, literary texture that reads as traditional and authoritative while maintaining a crisp, contemporary finish.
The narrow set and strong verticality create a dense, efficient texture that holds together well in continuous text. Details remain precise at display sizes, while the condensed proportions emphasize economy of space and a slightly heightened, formal presence.
