A condensed serif with tall proportions, compact counters, and a steady, low-contrast stroke texture. Stems terminate in subtle flares and small bracketed serifs, creating crisp, tapered endings rather than blunt slabs. The capitals are narrow and upright with pointed apexes (notably in A and V shapes) and a controlled, vertical rhythm; diagonals stay sharp and economical. Lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, compact bowls, and a modest x-height with clear ascenders/descenders, keeping the silhouette clean and disciplined. Figures follow the same narrow, upright stance, with oldstyle-like curves and restrained terminals that remain consistent with the text face character.
Well-suited to editorial typography where space is at a premium, including newspaper-style columns, magazine layouts, and book typography. It can serve effectively for headings and subheads that need a narrow footprint, and also for captions or sidebars where a compact serif voice is desired while maintaining a steady, readable texture.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with an editorial seriousness that feels bookish and institutional. Its condensed stance and flared detailing add a slightly formal, classic flavor without becoming ornate, projecting clarity and authority more than warmth or playfulness.
The design appears intended as a space-efficient text serif that preserves a classical, authoritative voice through upright proportions and flared, bracketed endings. Its emphasis on narrow width and consistent rhythm suggests a focus on dense setting and structured editorial layouts.
In continuous text the tight proportions produce a dense, even color, and the restrained contrast helps maintain stability at smaller sizes. The flared endings and compact counters become more apparent as sizes increase, where the face reads as a distinctive, narrow serif suited to space-conscious settings.
