A condensed serif with tall proportions, tight sidebearings, and a pronounced vertical axis. Strokes are clean and fairly even with clear, bracketed serifs and sharp terminals that keep counters narrow and rhythmic. Uppercase forms feel stately and columnar, while the lowercase maintains a traditional text structure with compact bowls and a steady baseline presence. Figures are similarly narrow and upright, matching the font’s restrained, streamlined texture in lines of text.
Well-suited to space-conscious editorial work where a traditional serif voice is needed, such as magazines, newspapers, and book interiors. The condensed proportions also make it effective for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes that need to fit tight columns while keeping a classic, authoritative feel.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, leaning toward a composed, bookish sophistication rather than display exuberance. Its narrow, upright stance and crisp serifing evoke traditional publishing and formal communication, with an efficient, no-nonsense seriousness that still reads as refined.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience in a more space-efficient, vertically oriented form. By pairing familiar text-serif construction with narrow proportions and crisp detailing, it aims to support dense typography while retaining a formal, established tone.
In paragraph settings the condensed width produces a dark, continuous typographic color and strong vertical cadence, making word shapes look tall and tightly knit. The design’s narrow apertures and compact counters reward comfortable sizing and adequate leading, especially in longer lines.
