A sharply condensed serif with tall proportions and a compact, vertical rhythm. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with crisp, bracketed wedge serifs and tapered terminals that keep counters open despite the narrow set. Capitals are elegant and upright with restrained curves, while lowercase forms are lean and high-waisted, with narrow bowls and a tidy, vertical stress. Numerals follow the same condensed logic, aligning cleanly and reading as orderly and text-oriented rather than display-experimental.
Works best for headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where vertical elegance and space efficiency are priorities. It also suits magazine layouts, book jackets, and posters that need a classic serif voice without taking up much horizontal room.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a bookish, slightly dramatic narrowness that evokes traditional print typography. Its refined contrast and crisp serifs suggest seriousness and formality, while the compressed width adds urgency and a contemporary headline sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading voice in a tightly condensed form, balancing classic detailing with a space-saving footprint for editorial and headline use.
The narrow fit and strong vertical emphasis create a dense texture in paragraph settings, making it feel at home in space-conscious layouts. Details such as tapered joins and small, crisp serifs contribute to a precise, controlled finish.
