A condensed slab serif with tall proportions and crisp, square-ended serifs that join the stems without visible bracketing. Strokes are generally light with moderate contrast, giving verticals a clean prominence while curves stay restrained and controlled. Counters are narrow and the overall rhythm is tight, producing an efficient, column-like texture in text. Details such as the small, neat serifs, compact apertures, and tapered joins on diagonals keep the design sharp and orderly despite its slender width.
It works best in display and editorial settings where a compact measure is desirable, such as headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and titling on posters or packaging. The narrow proportions help fit more characters per line, while the slab serifs preserve a sturdy, structured presence at larger sizes.
The font projects an editorial, literary tone—poised and slightly old-world—while remaining clean and structured. Its narrow build and disciplined geometry evoke formality and precision, making it feel suited to careful, considered typography rather than casual messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, space-saving serif voice with a crisp slab-serif backbone, balancing elegance with a firm, typographic authority. It prioritizes vertical clarity and consistent rhythm to create a refined, publishable texture in short to medium runs of text.
In the sample text, the condensed spacing and strong vertical emphasis create a high, even color that reads like classic newspaper or book typography. Numerals follow the same slim, upright logic, pairing well with text for dates and references without calling undue attention to themselves.
