A very slender, condensed slab serif with a largely monoline stroke and crisp, square-ended, unbracketed serifs. Proportions are notably tall with long ascenders and descenders, and the lowercase sits on a modest x-height, giving plenty of vertical whitespace. Curves are narrow and controlled, terminals stay clean and minimal, and the overall rhythm is tight and upright with a lightly drawn, precise texture.
Best suited for display sizes such as headlines, magazine titles, book covers, posters, and refined branding where a delicate, elongated serif look is desired. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging copy when generous spacing and ample size preserve clarity.
The tone feels elegant and understated, with a quiet, literary sophistication. Its thin strokes and tall proportions add a vintage, editorial flavor—more poised and ornamental than utilitarian.
Likely designed to combine the stability of slab serifs with an unusually light, tall, condensed silhouette, aiming for an elegant display voice that reads as classic yet distinctive.
The thin weight and condensed letterforms create a light color on the page, while the slab serifs provide structure and a subtle engraved, display-like character. Numerals and capitals follow the same narrow, airy construction, keeping the set visually consistent.
