A condensed serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a steady, low-contrast stroke. The proportions are tall and columnar, with narrow counters and a compact overall footprint that creates a tight, vertical rhythm. Curves are controlled and slightly squared-off in places, while joins and terminals stay clean and consistent. Lowercase forms show modest modulation, tall ascenders, and relatively long descenders, supporting a traditional text serif silhouette in a narrower measure.
Well-suited to editorial typography where space economy matters, such as magazines, newspapers, and book work with narrow columns. It can also serve as a refined display choice for headlines, section heads, and pull quotes when a traditional serif voice is desired without taking up much horizontal space.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone with a restrained formality. Its condensed stance and crisp detailing feel editorial and disciplined, suggesting seriousness and clarity rather than warmth or playfulness.
Likely designed to provide a conventional serif reading texture in a condensed width, balancing clarity with economy. The goal appears to be a dependable, traditional tone with crisp serifs and disciplined proportions for dense text and editorial settings.
Uppercase letters maintain a strong vertical emphasis, with angular diagonals and compact bowls that keep the texture dense. The numerals follow the same narrow, upright logic, reading clearly while preserving the font’s tight, typographic color in lines of text.
