A condensed text serif with tall proportions and a tight horizontal footprint. Strokes show noticeable contrast with a largely vertical stress, pairing sturdy stems with thinner hairlines and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are small and bracketed, giving the outlines a traditional rhythm while keeping edges clean at display sizes. Counters are relatively compact and the overall spacing reads economical, producing an efficient, column-friendly texture in paragraph settings.
Well suited to editorial typography where space is at a premium—books, magazines, and newspaper-like layouts—especially for long-form reading in narrow columns. It can also serve effectively for headlines and subheads when a classic serif voice is desired without expanding line length.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a composed, bookish authority. Its narrow, upright stance and disciplined detailing suggest formality and restraint, while the contrast and sharp finishing lend a refined, slightly dramatic edge.
The design appears intended as a conventional reading serif optimized for condensed composition, balancing traditional serif construction with a tighter set to improve information density. Its controlled contrast and compact proportions aim for a polished, authoritative presence in editorial and literary contexts.
Uppercase forms read stately and compact, and the figures follow the same condensed, old-style-leaning character with varied shapes. In the text sample, the narrow set helps fit long lines into limited width while maintaining a traditional serif color that stays coherent across mixed case and punctuation.
