A condensed serif with tall proportions, modest stroke contrast, and crisp, bracketed serifs. The vertical stems are dominant and straight, while curves are kept tight, producing compact counters and a distinctly narrow silhouette across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Terminals are clean and controlled, with small, sharp finishing details that keep the texture even in continuous text. Overall spacing and rhythm favor a vertical, columnar color that reads as composed and economical.
Well suited to headlines and subheads where a classic serif voice is needed but space is tight, such as magazine layouts, book covers, and editorial titling. It can also work for short blocks of text, pull quotes, and captions when a condensed, traditional texture is desired.
The tone is traditional and editorial, evoking book and magazine typography with a slightly assertive, display-leaning narrowness. It feels formal and composed rather than casual, with a refined, slightly dramatic verticality that suggests headlines and classic printed matter.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading voice in a space-saving, vertically oriented form, balancing traditional detailing with a compact footprint for dense editorial composition and titling.
The uppercase shows pronounced vertical emphasis and restrained width, while the lowercase maintains a steady texture with tall ascenders and compact bowls. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright logic, supporting tight setting where horizontal space is limited.
