A compact, tightly set serif with a narrow footprint and brisk vertical rhythm. Strokes are mostly even in weight with subtle modulation, and many terminals taper into gentle flares rather than ending bluntly. Serifs are small and bracketed, and the overall drawing feels crisp and slightly calligraphic, with smooth curves and restrained detailing. The lowercase is relatively small against the capitals, contributing to a traditional, text-forward tone.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and other text-driven settings where a traditional serif voice is desired. The narrow set also makes it useful for space-conscious applications such as packaging, certificates, invitations, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a refined, classical presence.
The font reads as classic and literary, with a quiet formality and an old-style elegance. Its narrow proportions and flared endings add a composed, slightly historic flavor without becoming ornate.
Designed to deliver a traditional serif reading experience in a compact width, combining steady stroke color with subtly flared terminals for warmth and distinction. The intent appears to balance economy of space with a dignified, print-oriented character.
Capitals appear tall and dignified with compact counters, while punctuation and numerals maintain the same restrained, upright discipline. The overall color on the page is steady and even, with flared stroke endings adding a soft edge to an otherwise crisp texture.
