This typeface presents a classic serif structure with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, finely tapered terminals. Serifs are sharp and mostly bracketed, giving joins a controlled, traditional rhythm while keeping the overall color relatively light on the page. Proportions feel condensed with tall capitals and narrow bowls, and the curves show a vertical, calligraphic stress that reads as formal and composed. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with clean, open counters and delicate finishing strokes.
It suits editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and cultural writing where an elegant serif voice is desirable. The condensed proportions also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, and titling in space-conscious layouts, while the clean numerals support refined date and figure settings.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with an editorial sophistication that suggests tradition and restraint. Its high-contrast detailing and narrow stance convey refinement and a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward edge without becoming ornamental.
The design intention appears to be a conventional, readable serif with a more fashion/editorial sensibility created through narrow proportions and strong stroke contrast. It aims to balance traditional letterforms with a crisp, contemporary finish suitable for polished publishing contexts.
The uppercase set emphasizes verticality (notably in letters like N, M, and H), while the lowercase maintains clear, classical forms with a tidy, conventional texture. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman, relying on contrast and tapering to create liveliness at text sizes.
