A slender, compact serif with bracketed terminals and a gently modulated stroke that reads cleanly at text sizes. Proportions are tall through the x-height with relatively short ascenders and descenders, giving a stacked, economical texture. Curves are restrained and mostly vertical in stress, while joins and shoulders stay crisp rather than calligraphic. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright rhythm, with simple, readable forms and consistent serif treatment across the set.
Works well for editorial typography where you want a compact serif that can carry long passages while preserving a crisp, cultivated tone. It also suits magazine headings, cultural posters, and premium packaging where narrow proportions and refined serifs help fit more copy without losing a classic feel.
The tone is literary and traditional, with a subtle old-world flavor that feels suited to serious, text-forward communication. Its tight rhythm and tall lowercase make it feel efficient and a bit formal, while the delicate serifs add refinement without becoming ornamental.
The design appears aimed at delivering a traditional serif voice in a space-efficient, contemporary text-friendly build. Emphasis is on steady rhythm, clear differentiation, and a refined silhouette that can move between display lines and readable body copy.
Uppercase construction stays fairly straight-sided, while rounded letters (like O, C, G) keep a controlled, slightly condensed silhouette. The lowercase shows clear differentiation between similar forms and maintains a steady baseline and cap alignment, producing an even, composed paragraph color.
