A tightly set serif with slender proportions and a crisp, well-controlled rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast, with verticals reading firm and steady while joins and curves taper cleanly into subtly flared, bracketed endings rather than blunt slabs. The capitals are tall and stately with sharp, elegant apexes (notably in A and V forms), and the lowercase keeps a traditional, bookish structure with a two-storey a and g, compact bowls, and comparatively tall ascenders. Numerals follow the same refined logic, with narrow forms and modest terminals that preserve an even text color.
It performs well in long-form reading and editorial typography where a compact serif can fit more characters per line while maintaining a refined texture. The sharp, tall capitals also suit headlines, section openers, and pull quotes where a formal, classical voice is desired.
The font conveys a composed, traditional tone with an editorial polish. Its narrow stance and crisp serif detailing feel literary and institutional—suited to conveying seriousness, authority, and a measured elegance without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, traditionally structured serif with a polished, print-oriented feel. Subtle flaring at terminals and restrained contrast add character and elegance while keeping the overall tone conservative and readable.
Spacing appears on the tight side, and the narrow widths create a concentrated texture that reads distinctly vertical. The serif treatment is consistent across cases, giving the design a cohesive, slightly engraved impression while remaining clear at text sizes.
