A condensed serif with tall proportions, compact letterfit, and subtly flared stroke endings. Strokes stay relatively even in weight, with gentle modulation and crisp, tapered terminals that read as braced or lightly bracketed rather than slab-like. The design emphasizes verticality: narrow bowls, tight apertures, and high-waisted lowercase forms create a disciplined rhythm, while pointed joins and sharp serifs keep edges clean. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright structure with clear, traditional shapes.
Well-suited to editorial design where a condensed serif can add hierarchy and a traditional voice—such as book covers, magazine headlines, section headings, and pull quotes. Its tall, narrow forms also work effectively for posters and packaging that need a classic tone while conserving horizontal space.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, evoking traditional book and newspaper typography while feeling slightly more stylized due to its flared endings and condensed stance. It projects formality and authority without becoming overly delicate, balancing refinement with a sturdy, print-like clarity.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice in a space-saving, vertical format, using flared terminals and crisp serifs to maintain presence and legibility. It aims to bridge old-style editorial familiarity with a slightly sharpened, display-ready character.
In text settings, the narrow proportions create strong vertical texture and allow dense copy or tight headlines, but the tight apertures and compact spacing can increase darkness at small sizes. The ampersand and a few curved letters show a touch of calligraphic influence in their tapered terminals, adding character without breaking overall consistency.
