A compact serif with sturdy, slightly condensed proportions and a dark, even color on the page. Strokes are largely uniform with subtle modulation, and the terminals broaden into small flares that read as bracketed, wedge-like serifs rather than slabs. Curves are smooth and controlled, with rounded bowls and clear, open counters, while joins stay firm and structured. In text, the rhythm is tight and vertical, with a consistent baseline and confident spacing that holds together at display and strong paragraph sizes.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and title typography where a strong serif voice is needed without delicate contrast. It can also anchor editorial layouts, book and magazine titling, and brand touchpoints like packaging or posters that benefit from a classic, print-forward tone.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a hint of old-style print character. Its dense presence and flared endings give it a serious, institutional feel suited to editorial and literary settings rather than playful or casual work.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif presence with firm readability and a compact footprint, using flared stroke endings to add character and gravity while maintaining an even, dependable texture in running text.
Uppercase forms feel stately and compact, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, workmanlike texture. Numerals are sturdy and highly legible, matching the same flared terminal language for a cohesive typographic voice.
