This typeface is a condensed serif with tall proportions and a high x-height, giving it a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes show low contrast overall, with subtle modulation and gently flared terminals that broaden into small wedge-like serifs rather than blunt slabs. Curves are narrow and controlled, counters are compact, and joins feel slightly calligraphic, especially in letters like a, g, and y. Uppercase forms are clean and stately, while the lowercase maintains an even texture with relatively tight sidebearings and brisk, compact shapes.
It performs best in editorial contexts where a tall, compact serif can deliver elegance without taking much horizontal space—magazine headlines, book jackets, cultural posters, and refined branding lines. It also suits subheads and pull quotes at medium-to-large sizes where its condensed rhythm and flared terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is formal and literary, combining a bookish classicism with a slightly stylized, display-friendly narrowness. The flared endings add a sense of craft and tradition, while the condensed build keeps it incisive and editorial.
The design appears intended to offer a classic serif voice in a space-saving, vertically emphatic form, using flared terminals and restrained contrast to suggest calligraphic heritage while staying crisp and legible for display text.
The numerals appear similarly condensed and upright, aligning well with the text color of the letters. The sample text shows a consistent, even greyscale at larger sizes, with the narrow fit emphasizing a column-like cadence and a composed, high-contrast-in-spirit silhouette despite modest stroke contrast.
