A condensed serif with tall proportions, a strong vertical rhythm, and tightly fitted counters. Strokes show moderate contrast with mostly vertical stress and crisp, tapered joins that create small wedge-like terminals in places. Serifs are bracketed and compact, keeping the silhouette sharp rather than sprawling; rounded letters stay narrow, and verticals dominate the overall texture. The lowercase is compact with a relatively tall x-height, while ascenders and capitals remain prominent, producing a dense, column-like color in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and mastheads where a compact width is valuable and a traditional serif voice is desired. It can work for short blocks of editorial text or pull quotes when a dense, high-impact texture is appropriate, especially in print-like layouts with limited horizontal space.
The tone reads traditional and editorial, with an assertive, slightly old-style seriousness. Its narrow, insistent rhythm feels suited to authoritative headlines and compressed layouts, evoking newspapers, classic book typography, and institutional print.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading voice in a space-saving, condensed format while maintaining crisp detail and a firm vertical rhythm for display and editorial hierarchy.
In the sample text, the dense spacing and tall forms produce a dark, continuous texture that holds together well at display sizes. The numerals and capitals share the same condensed stance and sharp serif detailing, reinforcing a consistent, formal voice across mixed content.
