A slender text serif with long extenders, tight set widths, and a calm vertical rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with fine hairlines and crisp, bracketed serifs that taper into the stems. Counters are relatively open for the narrow proportions, and curves are drawn with a smooth, controlled modulation. Capitals are stately and compact, while lowercase forms keep a traditional structure with a two-storey “a,” a two-storey “g,” and small, neat terminals; punctuation and figures follow the same delicate, high-contrast logic.
Well-suited to editorial design where a refined, classical serif texture is desired—magazine typography, book interiors at comfortable sizes, and sophisticated headlines or pull quotes. It can also serve invitations and formal collateral where delicacy and tradition are priorities, particularly when given generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is poised and bookish, leaning toward editorial elegance rather than bold display. Its thin presence and sharp detailing feel formal and cultivated, evoking traditional publishing, cultural institutions, and understated luxury.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif voice with an elevated, fashion-leaning narrowness—balancing readability with a distinctly elegant silhouette and precise serif detailing.
The narrow proportions and fine serifs create a distinct verticality that can look especially crisp at larger sizes, while dense settings may feel tight due to the compact widths and slim hairlines. Numerals appear lining and similarly narrow, keeping a consistent texture alongside capitals.
