A slender serif with high-waisted proportions, narrow bowls, and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are fine and crisp with noticeable but controlled thick–thin modulation, and the terminals finish in small bracketed serifs rather than blunt slabs. Uppercase forms are tall and stately, while the lowercase maintains a relatively tall x-height with compact counters and long, tidy extenders. Curves (C, O, S) are smooth and restrained, and the numerals follow the same narrow, finely drawn construction for an overall light, airy texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial and book contexts where a compact serif can fit more characters per line while keeping a polished tone. It can also serve effectively for magazine features, cultural branding, and packaging copy that benefits from a refined, narrow serif voice.
The overall tone feels refined and literary, with a quiet formality that reads as classic and editorial. Its narrow stance and delicate detailing suggest sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or exuberance.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable serif texture in a space-efficient width, balancing delicate contrast with stable verticals for a composed page rhythm. It aims for classic elegance and typographic economy rather than display exuberance.
Spacing appears measured and even, producing a consistent vertical color despite the condensed set width. The design leans on straight stems and modest curve flare, giving it a composed, slightly old-style bookish presence without becoming ornate.
