A compact serif with tall capitals, tightened letterspacing potential, and a distinctly vertical stance. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with sturdy main stems and finer connecting strokes, while serifs are bracketed and slightly flared rather than slab-like. Curves are clean and controlled, and joins stay sharp, giving the alphabet a crisp, print-oriented rhythm. The lowercase is compact and readable, with a two-storey “g” and “a” and generally restrained counters that reinforce the narrow, efficient texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial and book settings where a compact serif helps fit more characters per line without losing clarity. It can also work for headlines, pull quotes, and subheads when a traditional, authoritative serif presence is desired, especially in space-conscious layouts.
The tone is traditional and bookish, evoking classic editorial typography with a slightly stern, authoritative voice. Its compactness and crisp detailing lend it a disciplined, institutional feel suitable for serious communication.
Likely designed to deliver a classic serif reading experience in a more space-efficient, condensed footprint, balancing tradition with a crisp, disciplined texture on the page.
Figures are clear and sturdy, matching the uppercase weight and contrast so numerals sit comfortably in text. The overall texture in the sample paragraph appears dense and even, emphasizing economy of space and a consistent vertical rhythm.
