A condensed serif with crisp, slightly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than blunt. Strokes show noticeable contrast without becoming hairline-thin, with narrow counters and a tall vertical rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, while join points and terminals stay sharp, giving the letterforms a clean, disciplined texture. Overall proportions are tall and compact, producing a dense, column-like color in text.
Well-suited to editorial design where a compact serif can carry long passages with a strong vertical cadence, especially in magazines or book typography with generous leading. It also works effectively for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes when space is limited, and for branding or institutional materials that need a classic, composed presence.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with a refined, editorial feel. Its narrow, upright stance reads as serious and composed, suggesting classic print conventions and institutional typography rather than casual or playful use.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient serif voice with traditional manners: tall proportions, controlled contrast, and subtly flared endings that add character without ornament. It aims for a sober, print-forward look that stays legible while projecting formality and craft.
In the sample text, the condensed widths and tight internal spaces create a strong, high-contrast texture that benefits from comfortable line spacing. The numerals and capitals maintain the same tall, compact rhythm, supporting a consistent, formal voice across mixed-case settings.
