A tall, tightly set serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly vertical, upright posture. Stems are strong and straight while hairlines and entry/exit strokes become very fine, giving the design a crisp, high-contrast rhythm. Serifs are small and sharp with clean bracket transitions, and curves show a controlled, classical construction with narrow counters and a compact overall footprint. Numerals follow the same contrast and narrow proportions, reading cleanly in lining-style figures.
It suits magazine and newspaper-style display typography, refined branding, and cover work where a slender, elegant serif can carry a lot of personality. It will also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when set at comfortable sizes and with enough leading to preserve its crisp contrast.
The tone is formal and polished, with a fashion/editorial kind of sophistication. Its narrow, high-contrast silhouette adds drama and a sense of precision, evoking traditional book typography interpreted for contemporary, high-impact settings.
The likely intention is a classic, high-contrast text serif idiom distilled into a narrow, space-efficient display voice—prioritizing vertical elegance, sharp detail, and a composed, editorial texture.
The design’s contrast and slim internal spaces create strong vertical emphasis, especially in capitals, while lowercase retains a measured, traditional texture. Because hairlines get very fine in places, the face visually prefers generous size and careful spacing to keep strokes from appearing fragile.
