A condensed serif with tall proportions, crisp wedge-like terminals, and lightly bracketed serifs that give strokes a chiseled, calligraphic edge. Contrast is noticeable but not extreme, with firm verticals and slimmer joins that keep the texture lively without becoming delicate. The capitals are narrow and stately, with pointed apexes (notably in A and W) and a compact, vertical rhythm; the lowercase follows with a normal x-height, tall ascenders, and clean, open counters that hold up well in continuous text. Figures appear lining and similarly narrow, matching the typeface’s overall vertical emphasis.
Well suited to editorial layouts, magazines, and book typography where a compact measure is useful and a classic serif voice is appropriate. It also performs convincingly for headlines, posters, and titling when you want a refined, space-saving serif with a confident vertical rhythm.
The overall tone is serious and literary, combining a traditional bookish voice with a slightly dramatic, high-poise presence. Its narrow stance and sharp details read as elegant and composed, suited to settings where a classic sensibility is desired without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation in a condensed footprint, balancing traditional proportions with sharper terminals for added clarity and presence. It aims to provide an efficient, column-oriented texture while retaining a formal, literary character.
In running text, the condensed width creates a dense, column-friendly color while the clear counters help preserve legibility. The design leans on strong vertical stress and pointed detailing, which can add sophistication in display sizes and a crisp, editorial feel in text when spacing is handled carefully.
