A condensed slab serif with tall proportions, firm vertical stress, and compact letterfitting. Strokes show moderate contrast, with strong verticals and finer horizontals, and the serifs read as flat, squared-off slabs with minimal bracketing. Curves are taut and slightly angular in places, giving bowls and shoulders a controlled, upright rhythm. Lowercase forms stay restrained and text-oriented, with clear counters and a clean, crisp finish to terminals and joins.
Well suited to editorial typography where a compact, space-saving serif is needed for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and book or magazine titling. It can also work for posters and packaging that want a traditional, authoritative voice with a crisp, structured texture.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial, combining a bookish seriousness with a slightly industrial, no-nonsense crispness. Its narrow stance and emphatic slabs add authority and a hint of vintage display character without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient slab serif that remains legible and composed in continuous reading while providing enough serif weight and structure to stand out in display sizes.
In running text, the condensed width produces a tight, vertical texture, while the slab serifs help maintain word shape and alignment. Numerals match the uppercase in height and presence, supporting headlines and titling as well as compact data settings.
