This serif typeface shows sharp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin contrast with a distinctly vertical stress. Proportions are tall and compact, producing a tight horizontal footprint and a steady, column-like rhythm in text. Curves are clean and controlled, while terminals and serifs remain crisp rather than blunt, giving the letterforms a polished, traditional finish. Figures align with the same high-contrast logic, and the overall color on the page is firm and slightly dark for its width.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif texture is desired, particularly in space-conscious layouts. It also performs strongly in magazine-style headlines, decks, and pull quotes that benefit from a refined, high-contrast voice.
The tone is classic and editorial, evoking printed literature and traditional publishing. Its narrow, high-contrast stance feels formal and slightly dramatic, lending an authoritative voice to headlines and emphasized passages without drifting into ornamental display.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a more condensed footprint, balancing readability with a sharper, more emphatic contrast profile. It aims to deliver a classic publishing feel while conserving horizontal space and keeping a crisp, authoritative presence.
Uppercase forms read stately and composed, with a strong vertical presence and restrained detailing. In running text, the compact set and sharp serifs create a precise, engraved-like texture that benefits from comfortable line spacing, especially at smaller sizes.
