This serif typeface is built on a compact, vertically oriented skeleton with tight proportions and a noticeably narrow set. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with firm vertical stems and tapered joins that create a crisp, slightly engraved feel in text. Serifs are bracketed and relatively small, with sharp terminals that help maintain clarity at narrow widths. The lowercase forms are straightforward and bookish, with a single-storey g and a clean, compact rhythm; the italics are not shown, and the overall construction reads as disciplined and text-forward.
This font is well suited to space-conscious settings such as book typography, editorial layouts, and newspaper-style columns where a narrow measure is beneficial. It can also serve for compact headlines, subheads, captions, and pull quotes that need a traditional serif voice while staying economical in width.
The overall tone is editorial and literary, evoking traditional book typography and classic printed matter. Its narrow stance and sharpened details add a hint of formality and historical flavor without becoming decorative. The result feels composed and authoritative, suited to serious or archival contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif optimized for compact setting and consistent paragraph color. Its bracketed serifs, controlled contrast, and disciplined proportions suggest a focus on readability and a classic editorial tone, with enough crispness to hold up in display sizes as well.
In the sample text, the tight set produces strong vertical emphasis and an efficient use of horizontal space. Capitals appear tall and commanding, and the numerals follow the same condensed, old-style sensibility with clean curves and brisk terminals. Spacing and color stay even for a narrow serif, giving paragraphs a steady, column-friendly texture.
