A compact serif with slim, straight stems and subtly tapered endings that resolve into small forked or spurred terminals. Curves are smooth and slightly condensed, giving counters a tall, narrow feel, while stroke modulation stays restrained for a steady, even texture. Serifs are fine and pointed rather than blocky, and several joins and terminals show angled, pen-like flicks that add character without becoming overly decorative. The overall rhythm is tidy and vertical, with a clean baseline and consistent spacing suited to continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book interiors, and magazine typography where a traditional serif voice with extra character is desired. It can also serve brand identities, packaging, and cultural or event materials that benefit from a classic tone with distinctive terminals, and it holds up in short display lines as well as longer reading passages.
The font reads as quietly refined and a bit eccentric, mixing a sober bookish structure with lively spur details. It evokes a vintage editorial tone—polite and composed—while the sharpened terminals add a faintly theatrical, storybook edge.
The design appears aimed at providing a readable, condensed serif foundation while adding signature personality through forked/spurred terminals and tapered details. It balances restraint and ornament to stand out in text without sacrificing overall typographic discipline.
Numerals and capitals share the same narrow, upright stance, helping headings and running text feel cohesive. The punctuation and dots appear crisp and small, reinforcing the typeface’s precise, engraved-like finish.
