A compact serif with slim proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes show clear modulation with tapered joins and flared, wedge-like endings that read as soft serifs rather than blunt slabs. Curves are smoothly drawn and slightly condensed, with narrow counters and crisp apertures that keep forms tight and vertical. The overall texture is even and dark enough for display use, with a calligraphic undertone in the way stems widen subtly into terminals.
This font suits headlines, subheads, and titling where a refined serif voice is needed in limited horizontal space. It also works well for magazine and book-cover typography, pull quotes, and poster copy where the compact width and flared terminals can add character without relying on heavy ornament.
The tone is classical and editorial, suggesting bookish refinement and a slightly old-world formality. Its narrow, upright presence feels disciplined and authoritative, while the flared endings add a hint of elegance and historical character rather than stark modernity.
The design appears intended to provide a space-efficient serif with a traditional, slightly calligraphic finish. By combining compact proportions with flared, tapered terminals, it aims to deliver an authoritative display texture that remains elegant and readable at larger sizes.
In text settings the face produces a dense, high-contrast page color for its size, with tall capitals and compact lowercase that emphasize verticality. The figures align with the same narrow, tailored proportions, supporting a cohesive, typographic voice across headlines and short copy.
