A tall, condensed serif with high-waisted proportions and a restrained, bookish rhythm. Strokes are predominantly vertical with modest contrast and finely tapered, hairline serifs that end in small wedges and beaks. Curves are narrow and controlled, with oval forms kept upright and compact; joins and terminals feel lightly calligraphic rather than geometric. The overall texture is airy and disciplined, with consistent spacing that maintains a steady vertical cadence in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a refined, space-saving serif is needed—magazine layouts, book work, and elegant headline systems. It can also support branding applications that want a classic, literary voice, especially where verticality and a cultivated texture are desirable.
The tone is poised and cultivated, evoking editorial tradition and classical refinement. Its narrow, elongated shapes read as stylish and slightly dramatic, lending a sense of formality without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif voice in a notably condensed, high-waisted silhouette, balancing classical serif detailing with an economical footprint. It aims to keep long-form settings orderly and sophisticated while providing distinctive, tall display presence when set large.
Capitals are particularly tall and stately, while lowercase maintains a clean, readable construction with crisp serifs and narrow apertures. Numerals follow the same condensed logic, keeping a uniform, columnar feel in mixed settings.
