A compact serif with slender proportions, bracketed serifs, and gently tapered strokes that give it a lightly calligraphic feel. Curves are narrow and controlled, with relatively tight apertures and a vertical, even rhythm across words. The capitals are tall and stately, while lowercase forms keep a straightforward structure with small, precise terminals and modest stroke modulation. Overall spacing reads on the tight side, reinforcing a condensed, economical texture in lines of text.
Well suited to editorial typography where a condensed serif is helpful for fitting more text per line while maintaining a traditional reading texture. It can work for book interiors, magazine columns, and essays, and also for headings or titling when a reserved, literary character is desired.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone—quietly formal and slightly old-world without becoming ornamental. Its narrow stance and crisp serifs lend a serious, editorial voice that feels suited to traditional publishing and institutional communication.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif voice in a space-saving width, balancing traditional serif cues with a slightly calligraphic taper for elegance. It prioritizes consistent rhythm and a composed texture for continuous reading and formal presentation.
Letterforms show consistent serif treatment across the set, with noticeable tapering on verticals and clean, restrained curves. Numerals match the text style closely, keeping the same compact footprint and vertical emphasis for a cohesive page color.
