A tightly condensed serif with tall proportions, a steady vertical axis, and clean bracketed serifs. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation without becoming delicate, keeping a sturdy, text-ready color even at narrow widths. Curves are drawn with compact bowls and straight-sided counters, while terminals and joins stay crisp and controlled, giving the face a disciplined rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Numerals follow the same compressed, upright structure for a consistent typographic texture.
Well suited to editorial layouts where horizontal space is limited—magazine headlines, newspaper-style titling, and compact subheads. It can also work for book covers and posters that benefit from a tall, authoritative voice, and for dense labeling where a condensed serif helps fit more characters per line without losing a traditional feel.
The overall tone feels editorial and slightly old-world, like a newspaper or classic book typography translated into a tall, space-saving format. Its narrow stance and firm serifs convey seriousness and authority, while the moderate contrast adds a refined, literary polish rather than a decorative flourish.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading impression in a compressed footprint, prioritizing economy of space while preserving a conventional, text-oriented structure and a refined typographic rhythm.
The narrow set width produces a strong vertical cadence and makes word shapes feel stacked and architectural. In the sample text, the type maintains clarity and evenness across mixed case, with a pronounced presence in headings and tight columns.
