A compact serif with flared, wedge-like stroke endings and gently tapered joins. The letterforms are upright and rhythmically even, with modest thick–thin differentiation and a clean, print-like finish. Serifs are minimal but assertive, often expanding from the stem rather than sitting as discrete blocks, giving the outlines a slightly calligraphic, carved quality. Curves are controlled and elliptical, counters stay relatively open for the narrow proportions, and punctuation and figures follow the same restrained, vertical emphasis.
Works well for editorial typography where economy of space matters—magazine columns, newspaper-like layouts, and book interiors with tight measures. It also suits formal display needs such as headings, pull quotes, and restrained branding where a classic serif tone is desired without heavy contrast.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, suggesting bookish authority and a measured, editorial voice. Its narrow stance and crisp flaring lend a slightly historical, engraved feel without becoming decorative, making it read as serious, tidy, and institutionally familiar.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif reading experience in a space-efficient width, using flared terminals to maintain character and clarity while keeping the overall color calm and consistent.
The spacing and proportions create a tight, column-friendly texture, while the flared terminals add subtle movement at text sizes. Numerals appear consistent in color and weight with the letters, supporting mixed alphanumeric settings in dense layouts.
