A compact, tightly set serif with clearly bracketed serifs and a restrained, classical construction. Strokes show noticeable but controlled contrast, with thin hairlines and sturdier verticals that stay even across the alphabet. Proportions are tall and compressed, giving capitals a commanding presence, while the lowercase keeps a relatively small x-height and long extenders for a more literary rhythm. Curves are smooth and slightly tapered, terminals are clean, and counters stay narrow but readable; numerals appear old-style with varied heights and several descenders, matching the text color of the lowercase.
Well-suited to editorial settings where a refined serif texture and space economy matter—book interiors, essays, magazines, and academic or institutional materials. It can also work for classic branding, headlines, and titling when a narrow, traditional voice is desired, especially at moderate to larger sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, leaning formal and slightly austere rather than friendly. Its narrow, upright posture reads efficient and serious, suggesting printed matter, institutions, and historical or classical contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif optimized for a dense, economical page while preserving a classic, cultured appearance. Its narrow proportions and controlled contrast aim to deliver a steady typographic color and a formal, print-oriented character.
The condensed width and small x-height increase the sense of elegance but can demand more size or leading for comfortable reading. Punctuation and the ampersand follow the same compact, serifed logic, keeping a consistent texture in continuous text.
