A condensed serif with sturdy vertical stems, compact proportions, and bracketed serifs that often end in rounded, ball-like terminals. Curves are slightly pinched and irregular in a deliberate, old-style way, giving letters like C, S, and G a tightened, rhythmic motion. The lowercase shows compact bowls and narrow apertures, with a single-storey a and g, and a generally upright, vertical emphasis. Numerals are tall and narrow with prominent top/bottom finishing, matching the dense, columnar texture of the text sample.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, book covers, and poster typography where a compact footprint and strong vertical rhythm are helpful. It can also work for short passages, captions, or packaging copy when a dense, old-fashioned texture is desired and line length is managed carefully.
The overall tone feels vintage and bookish, with a faint typewriter/poster-print flavor created by the condensed width and rounded terminal detailing. It reads as serious and editorial, but with a subtle eccentricity that keeps it from feeling purely classical.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice in a condensed form, combining familiar text-serif structure with rounded terminal cues to create a distinctive, slightly retro color on the page.
Word shapes appear dense and dark, with strong vertical rhythm and relatively tight internal counters, which increases presence at display sizes. The punctuation and dots are firm and rounded, reinforcing the font’s compact, crafted texture.
