A compact serif with moderately contrasted strokes and a distinctly flared, calligraphic finish at many terminals. Serifs are tapered and softly bracketed rather than blocky, and curves are smooth with a slightly lively modulation that shows up in letters like C, S, and e. Uppercase forms feel tall and disciplined with narrow proportions and generous internal counters, while lowercase maintains a steady, readable rhythm with round i-dots and traditional two-storey a. Numerals follow the same restrained, bookish construction with clear vertical stress and neat, tapered endings.
It suits book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif texture is desired, and it also performs well for headlines and subheads thanks to its compact width and crisp details. The refined, traditional tone makes it a strong option for cultural branding, certificates or formal materials, and premium packaging that benefits from a heritage serif feel.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, suggesting editorial seriousness and cultural familiarity. The subtle flare and stroke modulation add a touch of warmth and craft, keeping the voice from feeling purely mechanical while still reading as formal and authoritative.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional serif model by pairing compact proportions with restrained contrast and subtly flared terminals. It aims for a familiar, literary reading experience while adding enough crafted detail to stand out in titles and brand applications.
The font’s tight proportions and sharp, tapered terminals create crisp word shapes, especially in headings. Contrast and detailing are controlled enough to stay legible in continuous text, while the flared finishes give display settings a slightly engraved, heritage character.
