This is a delicate text serif with tall proportions, compact letter widths, and a pronounced vertical stress. Stems are slim and clean, with clear contrast into finer hairlines, and the serifs are bracketed with sharp, tapered terminals rather than blocky slabs. Capitals feel stately and slightly formal, while the lowercase shows tidy, book-oriented construction with compact bowls and relatively long ascenders/descenders that create a lively vertical rhythm. Counters are open enough to stay clear at text sizes, and the overall texture reads even and controlled, with a refined, lightly calligraphic finish.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial pages, and other long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired. The narrow proportions can be useful for space-conscious layouts such as magazines, catalogs, programs, and academic materials, while still maintaining a refined, classic texture.
The tone is polished and literary, evoking classic editorial typography and traditional book pages. Its narrow, tall stance and crisp serifs give it an intelligent, composed presence that feels formal without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable serif with an elevated, classical character—prioritizing a calm text color, a disciplined vertical rhythm, and a sophisticated editorial feel.
Round forms like O/C show a consistent stress and smooth curvature, and punctuation and figures match the same slender, precise voice. The narrow set creates a dense but orderly line, making spacing and rhythm a key part of its personality.
