A tall, condensed serif with pronounced vertical emphasis and slim proportions. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with thin hairlines and heavier stems, and mostly bracketed, slightly flared serifs that end in sharp points. Capitals are narrow and high-waisted, giving a poised, elongated silhouette, while lowercase forms keep a relatively even rhythm with compact bowls and crisp terminals. The overall texture is airy and refined, with tight letterfit and a distinctly vertical cadence in text.
This face performs best in headlines, subheads, and other short-to-medium settings where its condensed width and high contrast can add polish without crowding. It is well suited to book covers, magazine titling, posters, and boutique branding where a classic serif presence is desired and verticality helps maximize copy in limited space.
The tone is classic and literary, suggesting old-style editorial typography with a slightly theatrical, display-leaning elegance. Its narrow, high-contrast build reads as formal and refined, evoking vintage book typography, period advertising, and sophisticated titling.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, space-saving serif with a traditional print sensibility, balancing readable text rhythm with a more stylized, elongated presence for display use.
Curves are clean and controlled, with small apertures and modestly sized counters that reinforce the condensed feel. Numerals follow the same tall, slender logic, pairing well with the capitals for structured headings and label-style composition.
