A condensed serif with tall proportions, tight set-widths, and a distinctly vertical rhythm. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation without becoming delicate, and terminals resolve into sharp, slightly bracketed wedge-like serifs. Curves are taut and controlled, with relatively narrow bowls and compact apertures that keep the texture dense. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height relative to long ascenders and descenders, while caps appear stately and columnar, reinforcing an upright, bookish color on the page.
Well-suited to space-efficient typography such as book work, essays, and editorial layouts where a compact measure is beneficial. It also performs convincingly in headlines, pull quotes, and poster-style copy when a formal, condensed serif voice is desired.
The overall tone feels traditional and authoritative, with an old-style editorial seriousness. Its narrow, upright stance reads disciplined and formal, suggesting printed matter, institutions, and literature rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif impression in a tightly packed, vertically emphatic form, balancing readability with economy of space. It aims for a traditional printed feel—structured, composed, and suited to dense typography.
The numerals and punctuation follow the same condensed, high-contrast logic, helping mixed text hold a consistent texture. The letterforms prioritize compactness and vertical emphasis, producing a strong, uniform typographic stripe in longer passages.
