This serif shows slim, elongated proportions with a tight horizontal footprint and a tall overall vertical stance. Strokes are clean and fairly even with modest thick–thin modulation, and the serifs are fine, bracketed, and consistently tapered, giving terminals a crisp, carved finish. Curves are controlled and slightly narrow, with compact bowls and counters that keep the texture smooth and continuous in lines of text. Capitals feel statuesque and restrained, while lowercase forms maintain a steady rhythm with gently rounded joins and a conventional, bookish construction.
Well-suited to book typography, magazines, and other editorial layouts where a refined serif texture is desired. The narrow proportions make it useful for space-conscious headlines, subheads, and titling, while the steady rhythm can carry longer passages when set with comfortable size and leading.
The overall tone is literary and composed, leaning toward classic editorial typography rather than display exuberance. Its narrow elegance and understated contrast suggest sophistication, restraint, and a slightly old-world formality.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif voice in a slimmer, more economical width, balancing classical detailing with a clean, contemporary finish for editorial composition.
The punctuation and numerals match the same thin, disciplined treatment, helping paragraphs keep an even color without sudden dark spots. The design reads as precise and orderly, with a consistent vertical emphasis that supports dense setting while staying visually light.
