A compact serif with tall, condensed proportions and a steady vertical rhythm. Strokes are sturdy and mostly even, with subtle modulation and clear bracketed serifs that sharpen into crisp terminals. Counters are relatively tight, giving letters a dense color, while the narrow set width and upright stance keep lines orderly and space-efficient. Numerals and capitals follow the same tall, disciplined structure, with an overall emphasis on verticality and firmness.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and display text where a dense, economical measure is useful—such as newspapers, magazines, posters, and packaging. It can also support branding or titling that benefits from a classic serif voice with a space-saving footprint.
The tone is formal and editorial, leaning toward authoritative and traditional rather than decorative. Its compressed stance and emphatic verticals convey urgency and seriousness, suitable for messaging that needs to feel established and confident while conserving horizontal space.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading impression in a condensed form, maximizing impact and legibility per line while maintaining a traditional typographic character.
The face shows a consistent, press-like texture in text, with strong stems and compact bowls that help maintain a uniform line color. Serifs are present throughout and tend to be firm and slightly flared, reinforcing the sturdy, institutional feel.
