A compact, high-contrast serif with tall vertical proportions and sharply tapered hairlines. Serifs are fine and bracketed, giving strokes a crisp, engraved-like finish while maintaining a conventional text rhythm. Counters are relatively tight and the overall color stays light because of the thin horizontals and delicate terminals. The lowercase shows traditional forms with a double-storey a and g, narrow shoulders, and a small, neat x-height relative to the ascenders, reinforcing a vertical, elegant texture.
Well-suited to magazine and newspaper-style typography, book covers, and other editorial contexts where a refined, compact serif is desirable. It also works for elegant branding and display typography, especially where space is tight and a vertical, high-contrast look helps establish a premium tone.
The typeface reads as poised and cultured, with an editorial formality that feels at home in classic print settings. Its narrow stance and high contrast lend a sense of precision and sophistication rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, print-oriented serif voice in a space-saving width, emphasizing elegance through strong thick–thin contrast and delicate detailing.
In the samples, the condensed proportions create efficient line lengths and a distinctive, upright cadence. Numerals are slender and high-contrast; the 0 is narrow and the 9 has an expressive, calligraphic tail, adding a touch of personality within an otherwise restrained system.
