A condensed serif with compact proportions and a tight, vertical rhythm. Strokes stay relatively even in weight, with subtle thick–thin modulation and smooth joins that keep counters open despite the narrow set. Serifs are bracketed and often flare gently out of the stems, producing tapered terminals on letters like C, S, and T rather than blunt slabs. Uppercase forms are tall and stately, while the lowercase is compact with sturdy verticals, a double-storey a, and a relatively high-contrast feel kept in check by restrained detailing. Numerals are similarly narrow and upright, matching the text color of the alphabet.
Well-suited to space-conscious settings where a tall, compact serif is desired, such as magazine headlines, deck lines, book covers, and poster typography. It can also work for branding or packaging that benefits from a classic, editorial texture in a narrow measure.
The overall tone feels traditional and bookish, with a composed, editorial presence. Its condensed stance and crisp serifs lend it an authoritative, headline-ready voice while still reading as refined rather than aggressive.
Likely intended as a condensed serif for display and titling that preserves traditional serif cues while remaining efficient in width. The flared, bracketed terminals appear designed to soften the rigidity of a narrow structure and keep the reading texture polished and cohesive.
The design maintains consistent spacing and stroke behavior across the alphabet, helping it hold together in longer lines of text. Rounded letters retain clear interior space, and the flared terminals add a subtle humanist warmth without becoming decorative.
