A high-contrast serif with a compact, slightly condensed footprint and a distinctly vertical rhythm. Strokes transition from thick stems to fine hairlines, with small, bracketed serifs and sharp terminals that stay crisp at display sizes. Capitals are stately and narrow with pointed apexes (notably in A and V forms) and generous internal counters, while lowercase keeps a traditional text structure with clear ascenders/descenders and a controlled, even color. Numerals echo the same contrast and narrow proportions, lending an elegant, print-oriented texture.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine work, and refined branding where a classic serif voice is desired. It performs especially well for headlines, subheads, and titling, where its contrast and narrow proportions add elegance without taking excessive horizontal space.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, suggesting tradition, authority, and a measured sophistication. Its tight proportions and bright hairlines give it a polished, slightly dramatic presence that feels at home in cultured, literary contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif with a compact stance—aiming for a familiar, authoritative reading tone and a polished look in print-like layouts.
The forms show a conventional serif construction with disciplined spacing and a steady baseline, producing a consistent, vertically driven rhythm. The ampersand and punctuation in the sample text read as formal and bookish, reinforcing an old-style-to-transitional sensibility rather than a quirky or decorative voice.
