This serif typeface is drawn with slender strokes, bracketed serifs, and a distinctly vertical, columnar rhythm. The letterforms are relatively tall with compact widths, producing a crisp, economical texture in lines of text. Contrast is present but controlled, with thin hairlines and slightly stronger stems, and the joins remain clean without exaggerated calligraphic modulation. Counters are open and legible, with a two-storey “a” and “g,” a compact, sturdy “e,” and lining figures that follow the same narrow, upright proportions.
It suits long-form reading and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired, including books, magazines, and culture or opinion pages. The narrow footprint also makes it useful for space-conscious headlines, captions, and pull quotes that need a refined, traditional feel.
The overall tone is poised and traditional, evoking book typography and formal editorial settings. Its narrow proportions and restrained detailing give it a composed, slightly old-world sophistication rather than a loud or decorative personality.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a refined, bookish character, prioritizing an even vertical rhythm and disciplined proportions. Its restrained contrast and bracketed serifs suggest a goal of timeless readability with an elegant, slightly condensed presence.
At display sizes the fine serifs and hairlines read as sharp and precise, while in paragraph settings the tall, tight proportions create a dense but orderly color. The numerals and capitals feel consistent with the lowercase in their narrow stance, supporting a cohesive, classical texture across mixed-case text.
