A condensed serif with tall proportions and a taut vertical rhythm. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with tapered terminals and sharp, bracketed serifs that read crisp at display sizes. Counters are relatively narrow and the overall fit is tight, giving lines of text a compact, column-friendly texture. Capitals are stately and narrow, while the lowercase shows traditional forms with a two-storey a and g, a pointed, beaked r, and slender joins that keep the silhouette clean. Numerals are similarly narrow and high-contrast, matching the text color and emphasis of the letters.
This style is well suited to headlines, subheads, and titling where a refined serif presence is needed but horizontal space is limited. It can work in editorial layouts such as magazines and book covers, particularly in narrow columns or stacked lines where its condensed proportions and sharp serifs help maintain clarity and hierarchy.
The tone is classic and editorial, evoking printed headlines and literary typography rather than a casual or technical voice. Its narrow build and crisp detailing add a sense of urgency and sophistication, with a slightly dramatic, old-style flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice in a space-saving, condensed format, balancing classic detailing with a strong vertical emphasis for impactful composition. It prioritizes a polished print-like texture and clear typographic hierarchy in display and editorial settings.
In the sample text, the tight spacing and narrow apertures create a dark, continuous texture that feels authoritative. The ampersand is compact and formal, and punctuation appears simple and sturdy, supporting dense composition without calling attention to itself.
