A tall, tightly set serif with fine hairline terminals and a crisp, slightly calligraphic modulation. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed, with tapered joins and narrow counters that emphasize verticality. Uppercase forms are slender and statuesque, while the lowercase maintains a traditional text rhythm with compact bowls and clear, neatly finished terminals. Numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast logic, reading cleanly with restrained detailing.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine-style headlines where a refined, vertical texture is desirable. It can work effectively for pull quotes, titling, and formal printed materials like invitations or programs, especially when generous leading and margins are available.
The overall tone feels refined and literary, with a composed, old-style gravitas pushed into a more elongated, fashion-forward silhouette. Its delicate finishing and narrow rhythm convey elegance and restraint rather than warmth or ruggedness, lending it a poised, formal voice.
Designed to deliver a classic serif reading experience with a more elongated, boutique sensibility, balancing traditional proportions with a slimmer, more fashion-oriented stance. The intent appears to be elegance and clarity in display and text settings where a delicate, composed texture is an asset.
In continuous text the narrow set and fine detailing create an airy, high-end color, while the tall ascenders and prominent capitals give headings a distinctly vertical cadence. The ampersand and punctuation adopt the same restrained, polished treatment, reinforcing a cohesive editorial personality.
