A compressed serif with tall proportions and a tight, vertical rhythm. Stems show subtle flare into bracketed serifs, giving strokes a softly chiseled, calligraphic finish rather than blunt terminals. Curves are restrained and slightly pinched, with narrow bowls and compact counters that reinforce the condensed texture. The capitals read stately and upright, while the lowercase maintains a controlled, bookish flow with crisp joins and a clean, consistent baseline.
Performs well in headlines, decks, and pull quotes where its condensed width can fit long phrases without losing a premium feel. It also suits magazine layouts, book covers, and branding systems that need a classic serif voice with a sharper, more space-efficient footprint. For long passages, it will create a darker, more compact text color that can be useful in narrow columns.
The overall tone is poised and editorial, blending classic book typography with a slightly fashion-forward compression. Its flared endings add a refined, crafted feel that suggests tradition without looking overly ornate. The voice is confident and formal, suited to settings that benefit from elegance and authority.
Likely designed to offer a space-saving serif with a traditional backbone, using gentle flaring and bracketed serifs to keep the forms graceful and readable at display sizes. The intention appears to balance editorial sophistication with a compact, efficient silhouette.
In text, the narrow set builds dense, column-friendly color and a pronounced vertical emphasis. The numeral forms follow the same tall, compact logic, helping maintain consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
