A high-contrast serif with tall, compact proportions and a strongly vertical rhythm. Thin hairlines and sharp, bracketed serifs offset sturdy stems, creating a crisp light–dark pattern in text. The shapes are upright and disciplined, with tight apertures and a relatively narrow set that stacks efficiently in lines. Numerals and capitals follow the same refined modulation, with clean joins and pointed terminals that read clearly at display and large text sizes.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine headlines, book titles, and pull quotes where a refined serif voice is needed. It can also work for posters and brand wordmarks that benefit from a compact, high-contrast look, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines remain distinct.
The overall tone is classic and formal, leaning toward literary and editorial sophistication. Its slender build and polished contrast suggest a traditional, cultivated voice—more composed than casual, and more refined than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, print-oriented serif feel with heightened elegance through pronounced stroke modulation and compact proportions. It prioritizes a classic reading texture and a stately presence for headline and titling applications.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and narrow widths produce a dense, vertical texture with pronounced word shapes. Round letters keep a taut, slightly condensed feel, and the lowercase maintains a steady, even cadence that emphasizes clarity over softness.
