A slender serif with pronounced vertical rhythm, fine hairlines, and gently bracketed wedge-like serifs. Strokes show clear modulation with tapered joins and crisp terminals, giving letters a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle-inflected texture while remaining clean and consistent. Proportions are condensed, with tall ascenders and a modest x-height; counters stay open but compact, and spacing reads airy due to the narrow letterforms.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and long-form reading where a refined serif texture is desired. It can also work effectively for elegant invitations, programs, and cultural branding when set with comfortable leading to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is poised and bookish, leaning toward a classical, editorial sensibility. Its thin detailing and restrained drama suggest sophistication and quiet authority rather than heaviness or exuberance.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classical reading experience in a condensed footprint, combining traditional serif cues with a lighter, more contemporary delicacy. Its consistent modulation and crisp finishing suggest an intention to look polished in both display lines and carefully set text.
Capitals appear stately and narrow, with subtle tapering and sharp apexes; the lowercase maintains a steady, readable cadence in text. Numerals follow the same delicate construction, with clear differentiation and restrained ornament.
