This is a condensed serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a crisp, vertical rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with a generally upright stance, producing clear thick–thin modulation without becoming delicate. Proportions are tall and narrow, with compact counters and a tight overall footprint; round letters like O and C appear slightly compressed, and many capitals emphasize verticality. The lowercase has a straightforward, text-oriented construction with a moderate x-height, compact apertures, and short, neat terminals that keep word shapes narrow and controlled.
It suits editorial design where space is at a premium—newspaper-style columns, magazines, and information-dense layouts. The condensed build also performs well in headlines and subheads, book jackets, posters with a classic tone, and branding that aims for established credibility.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with a distinctly editorial presence. Its condensed proportions add a sense of seriousness and efficiency, evoking newspaper columns, book typography, and institutional print. The styling reads as established and slightly old-world rather than trendy or playful.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif adapted to a narrow measure, balancing readability with a space-saving, headline-friendly silhouette. Its moderate contrast and bracketed serifs suggest a goal of maintaining a familiar, bookish texture while increasing vertical emphasis and economy of width.
At display sizes the slender build and sharp serifs look crisp and authoritative, while in continuous text the narrow set and compact counters create a dense, column-friendly texture. Numerals follow the same condensed, vertical logic, matching the caps closely in color and posture.
