A compact serif with tall proportions and a tight overall set, showing slim letterforms and controlled, moderate stroke modulation. Serifs are bracketed and neatly finished, with tapered terminals and a disciplined vertical emphasis that keeps the texture even in paragraphs. Curves are slightly condensed and upright, while joins and counters stay open enough to remain legible at text sizes. Numerals follow the same narrow, old-style-inflected rhythm, blending smoothly with lowercase in running text.
Well suited to books, magazines, and other editorial settings where compact serif text is needed without losing structure. Its narrow proportions make it useful for space-conscious layouts such as newspapers, directories, captions, sidebars, and legal or academic material.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone—polished and serious without feeling ornate. Its narrow rhythm reads as efficient and authoritative, suited to dense information and traditional publishing aesthetics.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif optimized for compact composition: narrow letterforms, consistent serif treatment, and a steady rhythm that prioritizes paragraph texture and legibility over display flourish.
In the sample text, the type builds a strong vertical cadence and a dark-but-not-heavy color, helping long lines remain orderly. Round letters keep a restrained width, and the punctuation and dots appear sturdy and clear, supporting continuous reading.
