A condensed serif with tall proportions and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes are strongly vertical with hairline horizontals, giving a crisp, high-contrast texture, while the serifs read as fine and slightly bracketed. Curves show a classic vertical stress, and several forms (notably the Q tail and some lowercase joins) introduce sharp, calligraphic flicks that add energy to an otherwise disciplined rhythm. The overall spacing feels tight and column-friendly, producing an elegant, compact text color at display-to-text crossover sizes.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and titling where a narrow footprint and high contrast can create a striking, upscale impression. It can also work for short editorial passages, pull quotes, and book-cover typography, especially in layouts that benefit from tall, elegant letterforms and a compact measure.
The font conveys a formal, literary tone with a touch of theatrical flair. Its narrow stance and sparkling contrast feel suited to cultured, old-world settings—confident and authoritative, but also a bit dramatic in the details.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif voice in a compressed, high-contrast package—optimized for vertical elegance and space-efficient composition while retaining traditional serif cues for familiarity.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and stately, while the lowercase maintains a conventional reading pattern with clear ascenders and descenders. Numerals appear similarly condensed and high-contrast, matching the vertical emphasis and making them feel suited to titling and tabular-like contexts where horizontal space is limited.
