A narrow serif with gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than sharply cut. Stems show subtle modulation, with tapered joins and soft, calligraphic transitions that keep the texture lively in running text. Proportions are tall and compact, with relatively high ascenders and deep descenders, producing an elegant vertical rhythm. Counters are moderately open and the overall spacing reads even, giving paragraphs a crisp, composed color.
Well suited to book interiors, essays, and magazine typography where a refined serif texture is desired at text sizes. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and cultural branding that benefits from a classic, authoritative tone in a compact width.
The tone is bookish and editorial, balancing tradition with a slightly contemporary crispness. It conveys seriousness and credibility without feeling overly ornate, making it suited to content that benefits from a cultivated, literary voice.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional serif reading experience with added character from flared terminals and subtle modulation, offering a distinctive texture while remaining controlled and legible in continuous text.
The flared terminals and restrained contrast create a distinctive silhouette in both uppercase and lowercase, while maintaining good continuity across long lines. Numerals and capitals carry the same tapered, slightly sculpted feel, helping headings and figure-heavy text look cohesive.
