A condensed oldstyle serif with tall proportions, moderate stroke modulation, and sharply cut wedge-like serifs. The forms feel taut and vertical, with narrow apertures and compact counters that create a dark, even typographic color. Curves are clean and controlled, while terminals and serifs show pointed, slightly calligraphic shaping rather than blunt slabs. Overall spacing is tight and the rhythm is disciplined, emphasizing height and economy of width.
Well-suited to editorial typography where space efficiency matters, such as books, magazine text, newspaper columns, and academic material. It can also serve for headings and subheads that need a traditional serif voice without taking much horizontal space.
The font conveys a classical, literary tone—serious and composed, with a hint of historic, book-page formality. Its condensed stance and crisp serifs give it an authoritative, editorial voice suited to traditional settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional, condensed text serif that balances readability with high information density. Its controlled modulation and sharp serif treatment suggest an aim toward a classic printed feel while remaining orderly and practical for continuous reading.
Lowercase shows sturdy, compact construction and a consistent, measured cadence across words. Numerals appear similarly narrow and upright, aligning with the type’s tall, economical silhouette and maintaining strong presence in running text.
