A narrow slab serif with a tall, high-waisted structure and generous vertical emphasis. Strokes are light overall with noticeable thick–thin modulation, while the serifs read as crisp slabs that are mostly bracketed and compact rather than heavy. Curves are clean and slightly taut, terminals are sharp, and spacing feels orderly, producing a restrained, vertical rhythm. Numerals follow the same slender, upright construction with delicate bowls and small, controlled details.
Well suited for editorial headlines, subheads, and titling where a condensed serif can save space while maintaining a classic tone. It can also work for book cover typography and poster copy that benefits from a refined, narrow serif texture.
The tone is refined and literary, projecting a composed, editorial voice rather than a loud display personality. Its narrow silhouette and crisp serifs give it a formal, slightly old-style dignity suited to serious or cultured messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, plainspoken slab-serif presence in a condensed footprint, balancing traditional serif cues with a clean, economical rhythm for editorial and titling use.
Uppercase forms appear especially tall and columnar, and the overall texture stays even in paragraph settings, with a consistent cadence and clear word shapes. The design’s small, bracketed slab serifs add firmness without making the page color heavy.
