A tall, tightly set text face with markedly condensed proportions and clean, controlled outlines. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation with verticals tending heavier and curves thinning into joins, creating a crisp rhythm without feeling overly delicate. Terminals are largely straight and decisive, while many joins and corners soften into subtle rounding, keeping counters compact and shapes disciplined. The lowercase forms are narrow with a straightforward, upright stance; ascenders and capitals read prominent, and the numerals follow the same slender, vertical emphasis for a cohesive text color.
This design is well suited to space-conscious typography where a compact measure is helpful, such as magazine layouts, newspaper-style text, and dense editorial pages. It can also serve as a distinctive headline or subhead face when a tall, economical silhouette is desired, and it would translate well to labels or packaging that need a formal, high-contrast text color in limited width.
The overall tone is sober and editorial, with a slightly classical, bookish flavor. Its narrow build and restrained contrast lend it a composed, authoritative voice suited to serious content rather than playful display.
The font appears intended to maximize economy of space while maintaining an elegant, readable rhythm. Its combination of condensed proportions, controlled contrast, and subtly softened joins suggests a text-driven design aimed at delivering a confident, traditional voice in modern layout constraints.
In the samples, round letters keep relatively tight counters and an efficient footprint, contributing to a dark, compact line. The punctuation and dots appear small and sharp, reinforcing a precise, print-like feel at larger sizes.
