A delicate text serif with tall proportions, tight fit, and a smooth, even rhythm. Strokes show gentle modulation with tapered joins and finely cut, bracketed serifs that stay crisp at the terminals rather than turning chunky. Curves are clean and controlled (notably in C, O, and Q), while verticals dominate the overall texture, giving paragraphs a composed, columnar feel. The lowercase maintains a straightforward structure with compact bowls and narrow apertures, producing a dense, tidy color in continuous text.
Works well for book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a compact measure and a polished serif voice are desired. It can also serve for literary headlines and pull quotes when a narrow, elegant presence helps conserve space without losing formality.
The tone is refined and literary, suggesting traditional publishing and carefully set typography. Its restraint and precision feel formal and composed, with a subtle elegance suited to thoughtful, text-forward design.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic reading experience in a space-efficient footprint, balancing refinement with practicality for sustained text. It emphasizes clarity and typographic decorum over display-driven personality.
Figures appear lining and similarly slender, keeping alignment orderly in text and tables while remaining visually light. Capitals are stately and narrow, with understated detailing that supports extended reading without drawing attention to individual glyphs.
