A serif typeface with narrow proportions and a disciplined, vertical stance. Stems subtly swell toward the ends, forming flared, bracketed serif-like terminals that read as calligraphic rather than mechanical. Curves are smooth and controlled, with moderately modulated stroke weight and sharp, clean joins that keep counters open and legible. The lowercase shows traditional proportions with a steady rhythm and compact spacing, while capitals carry a slightly sculpted, inscriptional presence without becoming overly ornamental.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classical serif texture is desired, particularly in narrow columns. It also works effectively for magazine headlines, subheads, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a refined, slightly calligraphic serif voice.
The overall tone feels literary and traditional, with a refined, old-style sensibility. Its flared endings and tapered strokes add a touch of warmth and craft, giving text an authoritative, editorial voice suited to serious content.
The design appears aimed at delivering a traditional reading experience with added character from flared stroke endings. It balances formal structure with gentle calligraphic shaping to produce a distinctive but broadly usable text-and-display serif.
In the sample text, the vertical stress and tapered terminals create a lively texture that stays even across long lines. The numerals and capitals maintain the same sculpted flare, helping headings and pull quotes feel cohesive with body text.
