A condensed serif with tall proportions, sharp bracketed serifs, and a clear vertical stress. Strokes show noticeable thick–thin modulation without becoming delicate, and the overall rhythm is tight, with compact counters and a strong, vertical texture. Curves are controlled and slightly calligraphic, while terminals and serifs stay clean and pointed, reinforcing a disciplined, classic appearance.
Well suited to editorial typography where a condensed serif helps fit more text without losing a traditional feel—magazine features, newspaper-style headings, essays, and book matter. It can also work effectively for posters and packaging that want a vintage-literary tone, especially in titles, pull quotes, and compact columns.
This typeface projects a composed, editorial tone with a slightly dramatic, old-style formality. Its narrow stance and crisp serifs give it a refined, somewhat austere voice that feels traditional rather than trendy.
The design appears intended as a space-efficient serif for setting substantial text while maintaining a traditional, bookish character. Its narrow proportions and consistent modulation suggest an emphasis on economical line length, strong typographic color, and a recognizable classic voice.
The numerals and capitals share the same tall, narrow posture, supporting a cohesive page texture. Descenders and ascenders are pronounced, contributing to a lively vertical cadence, while the overall spacing reads tight and column-friendly.
