A compact, tightly set serif with tall proportions and a narrow overall footprint. Strokes show clear modulation, with sturdy verticals and thinner connecting strokes, and the serifs are sharply defined with a lightly bracketed transition in many letters. Curves are taut and slightly pinched in places, giving counters a vertical emphasis, while terminals often end in pointed, wedge-like finishes. The rhythm is disciplined and linear, producing a clean, columnar texture in text.
Well suited to editorial settings where a compact serif is useful for fitting more characters per line while maintaining a traditional tone. It can work in book and magazine typography, and it also lends itself to narrow headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding where a classic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with an editorial, bookish character. Its narrow build and crisp serifs lend a slightly severe, authoritative feel that reads as formal and refined rather than casual.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif reading experience in a condensed footprint, balancing crisp, assertive details with controlled contrast to keep text orderly and economical.
Uppercase forms feel stately and vertical, with angular joins and spurs that add bite (notably in letters like G, S, and Z). Numerals match the text color well and keep the same narrow, upright stance, supporting consistent typographic color across mixed content.
