A refined text serif with narrow proportions and pronounced thick–thin contrast. Stems are strong and vertical while hairlines and serifs are very delicate, giving a crisp, engraved feel. Serifs appear bracketed and lightly flared, with clean, sharply finished terminals and mostly upright construction. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, compact counters, and a steady, columnar rhythm; capitals are tall and elegant with relatively restrained width.
Well suited to editorial applications such as magazines, book interiors, and literary publishing where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also perform effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal collateral (programs, invitations) when set with adequate size and spacing to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, with a poised, literary character reminiscent of traditional book and magazine typography. Its high-contrast detailing reads as sophisticated and premium, projecting authority and polish rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, authoritative serif voice in a space-saving, narrow footprint while maintaining a luxurious high-contrast finish. Its consistent construction suggests an aim for traditional readability with added elegance for display moments within editorial layouts.
In the sample text, the thin hairlines and tight apertures create a bright, high-contrast texture that benefits from comfortable sizes and good printing or screen rendering conditions. The numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast logic, and the overall set feels consistent and disciplined across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
