This serif typeface is built on tall, compact proportions with pronounced vertical stress and strong thick–thin modulation. Hairline serifs and terminals stay sharp and clean, often lightly bracketed into the stems, giving the design a crisp, polished edge. Curves are narrow and controlled, counters are tight, and the overall rhythm is vertical and even, with delicate joins and fine detailing that reads as distinctly high-contrast in both uppercase and lowercase.
It suits editorial typography where a stylish, high-contrast serif is desired—magazine headlines, section openers, and book or journal titling. It can also work for refined branding and packaging, especially where a narrow footprint helps fit longer names without losing a classic, premium feel.
The tone is refined and formal, with a distinctly editorial, bookish character. Its narrow stance and glossy contrast suggest sophistication and restraint, lending a sense of tradition and seriousness rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice in a narrower, more fashion-forward silhouette, emphasizing vertical elegance and high-contrast detailing to create a sophisticated texture on the page.
Uppercase forms feel statuesque and condensed, while the lowercase maintains similarly compact widths with lively hairline finishing strokes (notably in letters with ascenders and diagonals). Numerals appear similarly high-contrast and slender, matching the text color and maintaining a consistent, polished texture in running copy.
