A delicate serif with tall, condensed proportions and a restrained, traditional structure. Strokes show clear contrast with fine hairlines and firmer verticals, and terminals resolve into small, sharply cut bracketed serifs. Curves are narrow and controlled, with compact bowls and a tight overall rhythm; spacing appears measured, helping long lines set evenly in text. The figures follow the same slender logic, with simple, old-style-like shapes and modest punctuation weight.
Well suited to editorial typography where vertical economy is helpful—book work, magazine layouts, and multi-column text—especially when a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs effectively for narrow headlines, pull quotes, and formal titling that benefits from a refined, high-contrast texture.
The overall tone is bookish and composed, leaning toward a historical, literary feel rather than a trendy or expressive display voice. Its narrow, crisp forms convey seriousness and refinement, suggesting formality without heaviness.
The design appears intended as a conventional, literary serif optimized for compact setting, balancing traditional serif detailing with a tightly condensed width to fit more characters per line while maintaining a composed, authoritative appearance.
In the sample text, the condensed letterforms create an efficient, column-friendly texture, while the fine serifs and hairlines add a slightly ornamental edge at larger sizes. The uppercase has a dignified, vertical emphasis, and the lowercase maintains a calm, conventional reading pattern with minimal calligraphic flourish.
