A condensed, tall serif with fine, even strokes and a calm, linear rhythm. Serifs read as small, squared terminals and short slabs that cap stems and arms with minimal curvature, keeping joins crisp and unbracketed. Curves are narrow and controlled (notably in C/O/S), while verticals dominate, giving the alphabet a poised, columnar texture. Counters are tight and letterspacing feels slightly open, helping the delicate forms stay distinct at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where its thin strokes and condensed structure can read cleanly and add character. It works well for book covers, editorial pull quotes, boutique packaging, menus, and cultural posters where a touch of vintage elegance is desired.
The overall tone is refined and lightly eccentric—part bookish and archival, part playful in its lanky proportions. It suggests quiet sophistication rather than forceful emphasis, with a gentle, old-world charm suited to curated, literary contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive condensed voice with crisp slab-like finishing, balancing legibility with stylized narrow proportions. Its consistent stroke weight and restrained detailing suggest an aim toward an airy, refined display serif for branding and editorial settings.
The numerals follow the same slender, high-waisted proportions, with simple, readable forms and modest terminals. Uppercase forms feel especially statuesque, and the lowercase maintains a restrained, tidy personality with small bowls and compact joins that reinforce the narrow silhouette.
