A tall, condensed serif with a wiry build and modest stroke modulation. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, giving terminals a softened, calligraphic finish rather than a hard, mechanical cut. Counters are relatively tight and forms are vertically oriented, with narrow bowls and a steady, even rhythm in text. Numerals and capitals follow the same slim proportions, and the overall color stays light and crisp while retaining enough contrast for a traditional serif feel.
Well-suited to book and magazine typography where a classic serif voice is desired but horizontal space is limited. It can also serve effectively for headlines, captions, and packaging copy that benefits from a refined, traditional tone and a compact measure.
The tone is literary and composed, with a subtle historical flavor that suggests printed books, editorial columns, and formal titles. Its narrow stature reads efficient and purposeful, while the bracketed serifs keep it approachable rather than austere.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif optimized for narrow setting and vertical elegance, balancing traditional serif detailing with a clean, economical footprint. The slightly calligraphic terminal behavior suggests an aim to add personality and warmth while staying within a disciplined, readable structure.
In the sample text, spacing appears compact and the vertical emphasis is strong, which can make lines feel elegant but dense at smaller sizes. The italic is not shown; all examples present a consistent upright voice with slightly expressive terminals that add character without becoming decorative.
