A tall, slender serif with a delicate color and clear, consistent rhythm. Strokes show modest thick–thin modulation with sharp, tidy terminals and small bracketed serifs that stay restrained rather than blocky. Counters are narrow and vertical, and the overall spacing feels compact, producing an elegant, column-like texture in text. Figures align with the same narrow, high-contrast logic, reading cleanly without appearing decorative.
Well suited to editorial layouts, books, and other longform reading contexts where a refined, space-efficient serif is helpful. Its narrow build also makes it a good option for dense information layouts—such as captions, notes, and multi-column pages—when paired with appropriate line spacing.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, with a quiet formality that suggests traditional book typography. Its narrow proportions and crisp serifs give it a composed, slightly old-style sensibility while remaining straightforward and practical.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif optimized for an elegant, economical texture on the page. It prioritizes verticality, restrained serif detail, and consistent modulation to deliver a classic reading experience without overt stylistic flourishes.
In the sample text, the font maintains an even baseline and a steady cadence across mixed case, with punctuation and dots staying small and unobtrusive. The narrow letterforms create strong vertical emphasis, which can feel sophisticated but may require comfortable leading and margins to avoid a dense page color in long passages.
