A compact serif with slender proportions and a lively, calligraphic underpinning. Strokes show clear modulation, with thin hairlines and firmer verticals, and bracketed serifs that taper to fine terminals rather than forming heavy slabs. Curves are slightly open and asymmetric in places, giving the design a humanist rhythm; the lowercase includes a double-storey a and g, and the spacing feels tight but controlled for continuous text. Numerals appear oldstyle with noticeable ascenders/descenders, reinforcing a text-first character.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a compact measure is helpful, such as magazines, journals, and dense text columns. It can also serve for refined branding, invitations, and pull quotes when a classical serif voice is needed, especially where space economy and a traditional texture are priorities.
The tone is traditional and literary, with an academic, editorial feel rather than a display attitude. Its narrow build and crisp detailing suggest seriousness and refinement, suitable for content where a classic voice is desired.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif optimized for continuous reading, combining space-saving narrow proportions with classical details and oldstyle figures to create an established, bookish typographic color.
The italics are not shown; in the roman, several letters feature subtly flared or hooked terminals (notably in forms like f, t, and r), which adds a slightly engraved, book-type texture at reading sizes. The overall color on the page is even, with enough contrast to feel elegant without becoming fragile in the sample setting.
