A high-contrast serif with tall, compact proportions and a crisp, vertical rhythm. Strokes move from very thin hairlines to strong stems, with bracketed wedge-like serifs and tapered terminals that stay clean rather than calligraphic. Capitals are narrow and dignified, while the lowercase keeps a traditional structure with a single-storey “g”, a moderate x-height, and slender joins that emphasize the type’s sharp, refined texture. Numerals are similarly high-contrast and elegant, aligning visually with the uppercase’s condensed stance.
Well suited to editorial typography such as books, long-form articles, and magazine layouts where a refined serif texture is desired. Its narrow capitals and crisp contrast also make it effective for display applications like headlines, pull quotes, and section openers, especially in high-resolution print or carefully set digital layouts.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, projecting a classic bookish authority with a slightly dramatic, fashion-leaning contrast. It feels composed and traditional, with an upscale polish that suits serious or curated contexts rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif voice with heightened contrast and compact proportions, balancing traditional letterforms with a sharper, more contemporary editorial finish. It prioritizes elegance and vertical emphasis to produce a distinctive, refined typographic color.
The tight proportions and strong contrast create a bright page color with pronounced verticals, while the fine horizontals and hairlines add delicacy. Some shapes (notably the lowercase “g” and the narrow capitals) introduce a subtle old-style flavor without departing from conventional text-serif expectations.
