A condensed serif with tall proportions, tight sidebearings, and a steady vertical axis. Strokes are mostly even with subtle modulation, ending in small, bracketed serifs and occasional slight flaring at terminals. Curves are narrow and upright, with compact bowls and a restrained, ink-trap-free construction that reads cleanly. Capitals feel stately and slightly tapered, while the lowercase keeps a compact rhythm with modest ascenders and descenders and clearly defined counters.
Well-suited to editorial settings where a compact serif is useful—book interior sections, magazine columns, and dense informational text that needs to conserve horizontal space. It can also work for packaging and poster copy that aims for a traditional, literary feel, especially where a tall, condensed rhythm helps create hierarchy without heavy weight.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, suggesting a slightly antique, bookish voice rather than a modernist one. Its narrow build and crisp serifs evoke traditional printing and a formal, literary atmosphere suited to composed, structured typography.
The design appears intended as a space-saving, traditional serif that maintains a classical reading texture while fitting more characters per line. Its restrained contrast and compact forms prioritize consistent color and legibility in continuous text while preserving a distinctly vintage editorial character.
In text, the narrow letterforms create a dense, economical texture; spacing and the condensed widths become a defining character of the face. Numerals and punctuation match the same restrained, traditional serif detailing, supporting a consistent typographic color across mixed content.
