A slender serif with a tall, condensed stance and clean, measured rhythm. Strokes stay relatively even, with subtle modulation and sharp transitions into small bracketed serifs and occasional flared terminals. Counters are open and vertical stress is evident in rounded forms, while ascenders and capitals feel notably tall, giving text a statuesque, columnar color. Numerals and punctuation follow the same narrow, crisp logic, maintaining a consistent, orderly texture in lines of text.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a refined serif texture is needed in limited horizontal space, such as magazines, essays, and book interiors. It also fits display roles like headlines and subheads that benefit from tall, condensed capitals and a composed, classical voice.
The overall tone is poised and traditional, suggesting an editorial, bookish sensibility rather than a casual or decorative one. Its condensed elegance and restrained detailing convey formality and a quiet authority suited to classic typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with an efficient, space-saving width, balancing traditional detailing with a restrained, contemporary neatness for editorial settings.
Capital proportions are especially narrow and lofty, producing strong verticality in headings and acronyms. The lowercase maintains clarity through open shapes and tidy joins, while terminals and serifs remain sharp enough to read as precise without becoming ornate.
