A condensed serif with tall proportions, compact counters, and a disciplined vertical rhythm. Strokes show a clear modulated contrast with subtly calligraphic stress, and many stems finish in gently flared, bracketed terminals rather than blunt cuts. Serifs are crisp and tapered, helping the letters feel chiseled and precise while maintaining smooth curves in rounds like C, O, and G. The lowercase keeps a readable, traditional structure, with a two-storey a and g and narrow apertures that reinforce the compact texture.
Well-suited to headlines, titles, and short-to-medium text where a compact footprint and refined serif character are desirable. It can perform strongly in editorial settings (magazines, book jackets, pull quotes) and in branding systems that want a classic, upscale voice without heavy ornamentation.
The overall tone feels poised and literary, with a slightly old-world refinement. Its narrow, high-contrast look conveys formality and polish, suggesting editorial seriousness and classical taste rather than casual friendliness.
Likely drawn to deliver a space-efficient serif with classical proportions and a polished, print-oriented texture. The flared terminals and tapered serifs appear intended to add sophistication and a carved, calligraphic finish while preserving clarity in tight column widths.
Caps read statuesque and composed, while the lowercase adds a touch of warmth through soft bracketing and curved joins. Numerals follow the same elegant, condensed logic, maintaining a consistent color and crisp finishing across the set.
