A condensed serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and subtly tapered strokes. The verticals read firm and upright while curves stay compact, creating a tight rhythm and an economical footprint across words. Serifs are modest but distinct, with slight bracketing that softens joins without becoming calligraphic. Counters are relatively narrow and the fit is compact, giving the overall texture a dark, controlled color in paragraph settings.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired and horizontal space is limited. It also performs well for narrow headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and scholarly or institutional materials that benefit from a traditional, composed tone.
The tone is traditional and literary, with a reserved formality reminiscent of book typography and editorial titling. Its narrow proportions and crisp serifs lend a composed, authoritative feel that suits serious subject matter more than playful or casual messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience in a space-saving width, balancing compact proportions with familiar, bracketed serifs for steady legibility and a timeless page texture.
Uppercase forms show restrained classical proportions with minimal flourish, while the lowercase maintains straightforward construction and clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals follow the same condensed, upright logic, keeping alignment and density consistent with the text.
