This typeface is a conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strongly vertical rhythm. Stems are firm and straight, hairlines are fine, and the serifs are sharply bracketed with crisp, tapered terminals. Proportions run on the condensed side, with tall capitals and relatively long ascenders and descenders, producing a bright, columnar texture in text. The italics are not shown; overall forms remain upright and controlled, with smooth curves and neatly finished joins that keep counters open despite the contrast.
It suits editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine work where a refined serif texture is desired. The condensed proportions can help fit more content in tight columns, while the crisp contrast makes it particularly effective for pull quotes, section heads, and formal display lines.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, leaning toward a bookish, editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and narrow set feel formal and composed, suggesting a classic, cultivated voice rather than a casual one.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif voice with a slightly compact footprint, balancing traditional proportions with a sharper, higher-contrast finish for a more upscale, print-oriented presence.
In the sample text, the narrow fit and high contrast create a lively, sparkling page color, especially at larger sizes. Round letters like O and Q show a clean, centered construction, while the numerals appear lining and similarly condensed, matching the text’s vertical emphasis.
