This serif face is built on tall, compressed proportions with a tight overall footprint and clear vertical stress. Strokes are relatively slender with modest thick–thin modulation, and terminals finish in fine, bracketed serifs that stay sharp and unobtrusive. Counters are narrow but well kept, and the rhythm is steady, with slightly calligraphic shaping in curves and joins. The lowercase shows a compact, text-oriented structure with a small-to-moderate x-height and long, tidy ascenders and descenders; figures follow the same narrow, upright posture for consistent color in running text.
Well suited to editorial typography where a classic serif texture is desired and space efficiency matters—books, magazines, essays, and long-form articles. It can also work for formal print materials such as programs, invitations, and academic documents where a refined, traditional tone is appropriate.
The overall tone is poised and traditional, projecting a bookish, editorial confidence. Its narrow stance and crisp detailing give it a formal, slightly aristocratic feel rather than a casual or friendly voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif optimized for compact setting: narrow letterforms, restrained contrast, and precise serifs combine to produce a controlled, dignified reading texture at paragraph sizes.
Capitals read as stately and restrained, with clean joins and minimal ornamentation. In text settings the narrow set creates a dense, economical line, while fine serifs and open apertures help preserve clarity despite the compressed width.
