A compact serif with tall, tightly drawn proportions and a disciplined vertical stance. Strokes show moderate modulation with subtly flared terminals and small, bracketed serifs that give the letters a crisp, tapering finish rather than blunt slab endings. Counters are relatively narrow and the rhythm is dense, with slender horizontals and sturdy verticals creating a slightly calligraphic, chiseled feel. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, readable structure with simple two-storey forms and restrained detailing; overall spacing and widths read on the condensed side, making the texture dark and continuous in paragraphs.
Well suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where a compact serif can conserve space while retaining a traditional voice. It also works for headlines, captions, and institutional or cultural branding that benefits from a refined, slightly old-world texture.
The tone is classic and literary, balancing old-style warmth with a more controlled, editorial sharpness. Its narrow, vertical presence and flared endings suggest formality and tradition, suited to serious or cultured messaging without feeling overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient serif with a traditional backbone, using flared endings and moderate contrast to add character and hierarchy without sacrificing text composure. Its condensed proportions suggest an emphasis on fitting more content per line while preserving a polished, editorial tone.
In text, the font produces a strong vertical grain and a compact word shape, with terminals that add character at display sizes while staying composed in running copy. Numerals follow the same tall, narrow logic, contributing to a consistent, column-friendly color.
