This typeface is a condensed serif with a tall, linear silhouette and tightly proportioned capitals and numerals. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with a generally vertical stress, and the serifs are small and bracketed, finishing in crisp, squared terminals. Counters are relatively narrow and the overall rhythm is compact, producing a strong vertical texture in text. Curves and joins are clean and controlled, while a few letters introduce slightly idiosyncratic shapes (notably the single-storey a and the narrow, looped g), adding personality without departing from a conventional text-serif structure.
It suits editorial typography where space efficiency matters, such as newspapers, magazines, and book interiors with tight measures. The condensed build also makes it effective for headlines, subheads, captions, and other settings where a traditional serif voice is desired without consuming much horizontal space.
The overall tone is traditional and disciplined, with a bookish, editorial character. Its narrow proportions and sharp finishing details lend it a slightly stern, authoritative voice, well suited to serious or institutional contexts while still reading as familiar and established.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable serif for text-centric layouts while optimizing for narrow composition. Its controlled contrast and compact serifs suggest a goal of maintaining a crisp, classical impression in dense setting and editorial hierarchy.
In the sample text, the condensed width creates a dense, column-friendly color, and the moderate contrast remains stable at larger display sizes. Numerals are narrow and upright, matching the letterfit closely, which supports consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
