A condensed slab-serif with a very light, even stroke and minimal contrast. The serifs read as small squared slabs with subtle bracketing, giving the joins a softened, traditional feel rather than a hard geometric snap. Proportions are tall and narrow, with generous verticality in caps and ascenders and relatively compact bowls; curves are smooth and controlled. Spacing appears moderate for such narrow forms, keeping lines airy and preventing the texture from becoming too dark or cramped at text sizes.
Well-suited to magazine typography, book interiors, and other editorial settings where a light, refined slab-serif can add structure without heaviness. It can also work for invitations, packaging, and brand systems that benefit from a classic, understated tone, especially where horizontal space is limited.
The overall tone is quiet and cultured, with an editorial restraint that feels suited to literary or institutional contexts. Its thin strokes and narrow set convey delicacy and precision, leaning more toward elegance than ruggedness.
Likely designed as a straightforward, space-saving slab-serif that preserves traditional serif cues while staying light and unobtrusive. The emphasis appears to be on clean rhythm and legibility in continuous reading, with a refined finish for display lines when set large.
Numerals follow the same slim, light construction and maintain a consistent rhythm alongside letters. In paragraphs, the type creates a light, vertical texture; the narrow width increases economy of space while keeping a formal, traditional voice.
