A narrow serif with gently modulated strokes and pronounced flaring at many stroke ends, giving the letterforms a subtly calligraphic finish. Serifs read as bracketed and tapered rather than blocky, with sharp, clean joins and a consistent vertical stress. Uppercase proportions are tall and poised, while the lowercase shows compact bowls, a two-storey “a,” and narrow counters that keep the texture dense but orderly. Numerals follow the same restrained, bookish rhythm with crisp terminals and moderate stroke variation.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors, where its narrow proportions can fit more characters per line while maintaining a formal tone. It also works effectively for headlines and subheads that benefit from a classic serif presence, and for branding systems aiming for a refined, heritage-leaning voice.
The overall tone is classical and literary, projecting a composed, authoritative voice. Its tapered finishes and controlled contrast add a refined, slightly traditional warmth without becoming ornate. The result feels suited to serious, cultured contexts where clarity and restraint are valued.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with subtly flared, calligraphic stroke endings to add character without sacrificing discipline. It prioritizes a compact, efficient footprint and a consistent reading texture, suggesting an emphasis on editorial utility with a classic, cultured flavor.
In text, the font creates an even, slightly dark typographic color due to its narrow widths and tight interior spaces. Curves are smooth and well-contained, and the flared endings help maintain definition at joints and terminals, supporting a polished reading rhythm.
