A delicate serif with tall proportions and a distinctly compressed set, built from thin hairlines and sharper, slightly heavier verticals. Serifs are fine and tapered, with crisp terminals and a disciplined, vertical stress that keeps counters clean even at narrow widths. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall rhythm feels airy due to generous white space and restrained stroke joins. Numerals follow the same refined logic, with slender figures and understated detailing that matches the text color.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and editorial display where its slender proportions and refined contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages in books or programs when set with comfortable size and leading, and in layouts where a compact measure is desirable.
The tone is poised and cultivated, evoking bookish sophistication and fashion-like elegance. Its narrow, high-contrast feel reads as premium and formal, with a quiet confidence rather than overt decoration.
Likely designed to provide an elegant, space-saving serif voice for contemporary editorial and display typography, combining classical letterform discipline with a modern, condensed texture. The emphasis appears to be on sharpness, sophistication, and a distinctive vertical rhythm.
Capitals are particularly statuesque, producing a strong vertical cadence in headings. In running text, the light serifs and tight set create a crisp, slightly brittle sparkle that rewards good reproduction and sufficient size.
