This serif shows tall, slender proportions with a pronounced vertical emphasis and generous white space. Strokes are clean and controlled with moderate thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs that end in fine points. The shapes feel carefully drawn rather than calligraphic, with smooth curves, narrow counters, and a steady baseline rhythm; the overall color on the page stays light and open even in longer lines. Numerals and capitals follow the same narrow, high-contrast logic, giving the set a cohesive, finely detailed texture.
Well suited to editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, especially in magazines, book interiors, and cultured branding systems. The narrow proportions make it useful for headlines and display lines where space is limited, while the light overall color can also work for short-to-medium text blocks when ample size and contrast are available.
The tone is poised and literary, evoking traditional book typography and cultured editorial design. Its narrow stance and sharp finishing details read as formal and slightly dramatic, lending a sense of seriousness and refinement to headings and pull quotes.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with a space-saving, vertically oriented silhouette. Its fine serifs and controlled contrast aim to provide an elegant, authoritative texture that feels at home in established publishing and refined communication.
In text settings the tight horizontal footprint creates a compact measure while maintaining clear letter separation; the thin hairlines and pointed terminals contribute to an intentionally delicate, high-waisted look. The italic is not shown, and the sample suggests the design is optimized for a crisp, classical impression rather than a soft or casual voice.
