This typeface is a narrow serif with subtly flared stroke endings that widen into wedge-like terminals rather than crisp bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions, and curves are drawn with a slightly calligraphic tension. Uppercase forms are tall and compact, with sharp apexes and tapered joins; lowercase maintains a traditional, bookish skeleton with a relatively small footprint and clear counters. Numerals align with the same restrained proportions and tapered finishing, keeping an even, vertical rhythm across lines of text.
It fits well in editorial and publishing contexts where a traditional serif voice is desired, including book interiors, magazine typography, and cultured headlines. The compact width also makes it useful for space-conscious layouts such as sidebars, captions, and identity applications that benefit from a refined, classic tone.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, projecting a composed, editorial seriousness. Its tapered, flared terminals add a faint inscriptional quality that reads as refined and authoritative without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif structure with flared, tapering terminals to achieve a distinctive yet restrained texture. It aims for legibility and economy of space while signaling a classic, editorial character.
In text, the narrow set and firm verticals create a tight, economical color, while the flared endings soften the finish of strokes and keep the texture from looking mechanical. The design’s compact proportions suit dense settings, though the tapered details become most appreciable at moderate to larger sizes.
