A condensed roman with clear stroke modulation and softly bracketed, serif-like terminals that read cleanly at text sizes. Curves are oval and controlled, with tight apertures and compact counters that keep the rhythm even despite the narrow set. Vertical stems feel firm and continuous, while joins and shoulders show gentle tapering rather than geometric uniformity. The lowercase has a compact, steady x-height with traditional proportions and a slightly lively baseline presence in letters like g, y, and j.
Well suited to editorial typography where space is at a premium—magazine columns, book work, catalogs, and dense informational layouts. It can also serve effectively in posters or packaging that need a tall, refined texture without feeling overly decorative.
The overall tone is literary and editorial: composed, slightly traditional, and quietly confident. Its narrow, disciplined rhythm suggests efficiency and seriousness rather than playfulness, with a subtle humanist warmth coming from the tapered strokes and bracketed endings.
The design appears aimed at delivering a space-saving text face with traditional roman cues—stroke modulation, controlled curves, and restrained terminals—balancing economy with an elevated, print-oriented voice.
Caps are tall and economical, giving headings a stately, column-like texture. Numerals follow the same condensed logic and maintain clear differentiation, supporting continuous reading in mixed text and data-heavy settings.
