A delicate serif with tall proportions, narrow set width, and an overall vertical rhythm. Strokes are slender with clear thick–thin modulation, and the serifs are fine and sharp, reading as lightly bracketed wedge/needle forms rather than slabs. Capitals are high-waisted and formal, with clean, tapered joins and restrained curves; lowercase counters stay open despite the narrow construction, aided by thin hairlines and crisp terminals. Numerals follow the same tall, light model, with simple, readable forms and a consistent baseline presence.
Well-suited to editorial design where a refined, space-saving serif is helpful—magazines, newspaper features, cultural programs, and book cover titling. It can also work for short to medium reading passages in layouts that allow generous leading, and for brand applications that want a classic, literate voice with a compact footprint.
The tone is poised and cultivated, projecting a bookish, editorial elegance. Its narrow, elongated shapes and fine detailing evoke classic print typography and a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward refinement without tipping into ornament.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional text-serif voice in a narrow, vertical package, balancing classic proportions with crisp, contemporary sharpness. Its intent seems focused on elegance and economy—fitting more characters per line while retaining a recognizable, literary serif texture.
The design relies on tight horizontal economy and pronounced verticality, so spacing and leading become important for comfort at text sizes. Hairline elements and small joins suggest it will look best when given enough size or high-contrast rendering conditions where the fine details can remain distinct.
