A condensed, high-waisted text face with clean, mostly unbracketed terminals and subtly modulated strokes. Vertical stems dominate, while curves are drawn with a slightly squared, sculpted feel that keeps round letters compact and controlled. Uppercase forms are tall and narrow with restrained apertures; lowercase shows a prominent x-height and tight counters that maintain an even, column-like rhythm. Numerals follow the same narrow proportions, with clear differentiation and consistent weight distribution across straight and curved parts.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a narrow measure is beneficial—magazines, book jackets, and newspaper-like layouts. It also performs as a headline or poster face when you want height, economy of space, and a refined, literary tone.
The overall tone reads literary and editorial—poised and serious rather than casual. Its compressed proportions and crisp construction evoke a classic, bookish voice, while the controlled curvature adds a contemporary, designed-in restraint.
The design appears intended to maximize information density without sacrificing clarity, combining condensed proportions with carefully shaped curves for a disciplined, editorial rhythm.
Spacing and rhythm emphasize verticality, making lines feel orderly and economical. The design’s compact bowls and tight joins help it hold together in continuous text while still offering sharp definition in display sizes.
