This typeface is a condensed serif with strongly vertical proportions and a tight overall rhythm. Strokes show clear contrast with firm, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that stay crisp even in narrow forms. Uppercase letters are tall and stately, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with long ascenders/descenders that add a high-waisted, bookish silhouette. Curves are controlled and slightly oval, and joins are clean, giving the design an orderly, print-oriented texture in running text. Figures are similarly compact and aligned with the narrow set, matching the font’s vertical, column-friendly character.
It fits best in editorial contexts where a classic serif voice and space-efficient width are advantages—magazine titles, newspaper-style headlines, book covers, and poster typography. It can also work for short blocks of text or pull quotes when set with generous line spacing, maintaining readability while delivering a refined, traditional texture.
The tone is formal and polished, evoking traditional publishing and cultured editorial typography. Its narrow, upright stance reads disciplined and authoritative, with an understated elegance suited to sophisticated messaging rather than casual or playful voice.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, publication-oriented serif in a condensed footprint, balancing elegance with efficient horizontal economy. It aims for a dignified, high-contrast look that performs especially well in display and titling while retaining a cohesive text rhythm.
The condensed width and pronounced verticality create a strong typographic color, especially at larger sizes where the sharp serifs and contrast become more apparent. In dense settings, the long extenders and compact counters may call for comfortable leading to preserve clarity and avoid a crowded feel.
