A condensed serif with tall proportions, a strong vertical axis, and marked thick–thin modulation. Serifs are bracketed and relatively crisp, with small, controlled curves at joins that keep the texture tight and even. Counters tend to be narrow and vertically oriented, and the overall rhythm is upright and steady, producing a compact, columnar color in text. Uppercase forms read sturdy and architectural, while lowercase maintains a restrained, traditional structure with clear differentiation and tidy terminals.
Well-suited to editorial typography where space efficiency and a traditional serif voice are desirable—magazine headlines, subheads, and book-cover titling in particular. It also fits branding and packaging that call for a classic, slightly vintage seriousness, and can work for short-form text blocks when carefully spaced.
The font conveys a classic, authoritative tone with an editorial, print-forward character. Its narrow build and high-contrast strokes feel formal and composed, leaning toward traditional publishing and institutional typography rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience in a more space-saving, vertically emphasized form. Its high-contrast strokes and controlled bracketing suggest a goal of crisp, print-oriented clarity with a refined, authoritative presence.
The numerals match the condensed, high-contrast voice of the letters and hold their shape well at display sizes. In paragraph samples, the tight letterforms create a dense, newspaper-like texture; giving it a bit more tracking can help open the page when used at smaller sizes or in long passages.
