A condensed serif with moderate contrast and a distinctly calligraphic build. Stems show subtle flare into bracketed serifs, while joins and curves maintain smooth, controlled transitions. Proportions are compact with relatively tall capitals and a short x-height, producing a crisp rhythm and tight color in text. The lowercase shows traditional, readable forms with open apertures, a two-storey “g,” and sturdy, slightly tapered verticals; figures follow the same restrained, text-oriented tone.
Well suited to editorial settings where a classic serif voice is desired, including book interiors, long-form articles, and magazine typography. The condensed proportions also make it useful for space-conscious headlines, subheads, and formal branding systems that benefit from a refined, traditional feel.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with an understated elegance that recalls traditional book typography. Its narrow stance and clean detailing feel formal and composed, lending a quiet authority without becoming ornate.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif reading experience in a more compact width, combining calligraphic flare and bracketed serifs to keep the texture lively while remaining controlled and legible.
Capitals are clean and stately with sharp apexes and carefully modulated curves (notably in C/G/S), and the Q features a clear, distinctive tail. Serifs read as gently flared rather than blocky, helping strokes terminate with a softened, crafted finish. The sample text shows consistent spacing and steady line-to-line texture at larger sizes.
