A condensed serif with strongly vertical proportions and a compact rhythm. Strokes are sturdy with clear thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs that finish in small wedge-like terminals. Capitals are tall and narrow, with relatively tight interior counters, while the lowercase maintains a traditional text-seriffed structure with round dots and a compact, readable build. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright stance, keeping consistent weight and spacing across the set.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where space is tight but a traditional serif presence is desired. It can also work effectively for editorial layouts, book or magazine titling, and packaging or labeling that benefits from a classic, authoritative typographic tone.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, evoking traditional book typography and newspaper headline styling. Its narrow stance and decisive serifs give it a confident, authoritative voice suited to classic, text-forward design.
Designed to deliver a conventional serif reading experience in a space-saving, vertically oriented form. The intent appears to balance tradition and impact: familiar letterforms and bracketed serifs for credibility, paired with condensed proportions for efficient, attention-grabbing composition.
Curves and joins stay controlled and slightly angular, helping the letters keep definition at display sizes. The condensed width creates strong vertical emphasis, and the sturdy serifs add a distinct silhouette that reads well in short lines and prominent settings.
