A delicate, condensed serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and tapered terminals that create a crisp, finely drawn texture. Stems are slender with clear stroke modulation, and the narrow proportions emphasize verticality and tight rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Curves are controlled and slightly oval, with compact counters and a tidy, high-waisted feel in capitals. Numerals follow the same narrow, linear logic, keeping the overall color light and even in continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial typography where space is tight—magazine headlines, section heads, pull quotes, and book-cover titling. It also fits formal printed materials such as invitations or programs, especially at larger sizes where the fine serifs and tapered strokes can be appreciated.
The font conveys a poised, editorial character—quietly formal and cultivated rather than decorative. Its condensed elegance reads as traditional and bookish, with a slightly theatrical, display-leaning refinement when set large.
Likely designed to provide a classic text-serif voice in a condensed footprint, balancing traditional serif detailing with an economical set width. The emphasis appears to be on refined, vertical elegance and a clean reading rhythm for display-to-text crossover use.
In the sample text, the condensed width produces a dense measure without becoming blotty, and the thin serifs remain visually prominent, giving lines a crisp edge. The overall rhythm stays consistent across mixed-case settings, with a narrow, upright stance that suits structured layouts.
