A condensed serif with tall proportions, compact counters, and a pronounced vertical rhythm. Strokes show clear contrast with sturdy stems and finer connecting strokes, finished with bracketed wedge serifs that sharpen terminals without feeling slab-like. The letterforms are relatively straight-sided and high-waisted, with narrow apertures and tight internal space that emphasize a dark, continuous text color. Numerals follow the same condensed logic, with strong verticals and compact curves, creating a consistent, columnar texture.
Well suited to headlines and subheads where space is limited but a classic serif impression is desired. It can also support editorial applications such as magazine features or newspaper-style layouts, especially where a strong vertical texture and compact line length are beneficial.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an editorial voice that reads as serious and established. Its condensed build and dark color lend a slightly dramatic, poster-ready presence while still signaling conventional bookish legitimacy.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading voice in a space-saving, condensed footprint, prioritizing strong typographic color and clear vertical structure. It balances traditional detailing with tightened proportions to perform in display-to-editorial roles.
Spacing appears measured for dense setting, producing an even, slightly compressed texture in words and mixed-case lines. Capitals are especially tall and stately, and the punctuation and figures visually match the firm, narrow cadence of the letters.
