This serif has a markedly condensed stance with tall proportions and generous vertical emphasis. Strokes are slender with clear, consistent contrast and fine, tapered hairlines, producing a crisp rhythm at display sizes. Serifs are small and neatly bracketed, with sharp terminals that stay controlled rather than flamboyant. Curves are narrow and disciplined, counters are relatively tight, and the overall spacing supports a vertical, column-like texture in words and lines.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a tall, condensed serif can add elegance without occupying much horizontal space. It can also work for editorial branding—magazines, cultural programs, and premium packaging—where a refined, classic tone is desired.
The overall tone feels refined and editorial, with a quiet formality that suggests tradition and polish. Its narrow, elegant letterforms convey restraint and sophistication, leaning toward a classical book-and-magazine sensibility rather than a casual or playful voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice in a space-saving, vertical format, emphasizing elegance and clarity through slender strokes, restrained detailing, and consistent contrast.
In the samples, the condensed capitals create strong headline presence while maintaining an even typographic color. The numerals and punctuation follow the same delicate, tapered treatment, reinforcing a cohesive, composed look across mixed-case text.
