This slab serif has tall, condensed proportions and a crisp, print-oriented drawing. Strokes show noticeable contrast between verticals and hairline horizontals, while the serifs are straight, blocky, and largely unbracketed, giving a firm baseline and sharp endings. Curves are smooth and controlled with compact bowls and tight apertures; counters stay relatively narrow, reinforcing the vertical rhythm. Overall spacing reads disciplined and even, producing a tidy, columnar texture in text.
It suits editorial typography where a slender slab serif can add structure and seriousness—magazine layouts, book interiors at moderate sizes, and compact headline or subhead settings. The narrow footprint also makes it useful for captions, sidebars, and information-dense layouts where a traditional voice is desired without heavy weight.
The tone is sober and editorial, with a quiet authority that feels traditional without becoming ornate. Its sharp serifs and lean structure convey precision and restraint, lending a slightly formal, institutional character.
The design appears intended as a practical, no-nonsense slab serif that brings a classic printed feel while staying economical in width. Its consistent serif system and controlled contrast prioritize an orderly texture and dependable readability for text-forward composition.
Capitals present as stately and upright with consistent serif treatment, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation (notably in letters like a, g, and t) for legibility. Numerals are similarly upright and straightforward, matching the typeface’s compact, vertical cadence.
