A compressed serif with tall proportions and strong vertical emphasis. Strokes show clear tapering and moderate contrast, with hairline joins in places and fuller main stems. Serifs are sharp and bracketed lightly, giving terminals a crisp, cut quality rather than a blunt finish. Counters are compact and spacing feels tight, producing a dense rhythm that stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to editorial settings where a tall, condensed serif can create a sophisticated vertical texture—magazine headlines, section openers, book-jacket titling, and cultural posters. It can also work for branding that wants a classic, upscale impression, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the tapering details remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and formal, leaning toward classic editorial typography. Its narrow, upright stance and crisp serifs convey seriousness and poise, with a slightly dramatic, high-fashion edge when set large.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic serif voice in a space-saving, condensed width, balancing traditional proportions with crisp detailing for strong headline presence. Its consistent narrow rhythm suggests a focus on elegant economy—fitting more characters per line while retaining a polished, literary feel.
Uppercase forms are particularly statuesque, while the lowercase maintains a controlled, traditional text structure with compact bowls and narrow apertures. The numerals follow the same condensed logic, reading cleanly in sequence and reinforcing the vertical, column-like texture in paragraphs.
