A compact, tightly proportioned serif with crisp, flaring terminals and subtly bracketed joins. Vertical strokes carry clear presence, while curves are neatly controlled, producing a steady, slightly condensed rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Serifs taper and splay rather than forming flat slabs, giving the outlines a chiseled, calligraphic edge; apertures are relatively small and counters feel contained, which reinforces a dark, continuous text color. Numerals and capitals show sturdy, traditional construction with modest contrast and clean, upright stress.
Well suited to magazine and newspaper-style typography, book interior titling, and content-forward branding where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for posters and headlines that benefit from a compact footprint and strong, authoritative texture.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and restraint. Its flared endings and compact stance add a faint historic, bookish flavor without becoming ornate, making it feel serious, institutional, and dependable.
The design appears aimed at delivering a traditional serif reading voice with a distinctive flared-terminal signature, balancing legibility and compactness while maintaining a refined, editorial presence.
In the text sample, the face maintains a consistent, dense rhythm across long lines, with pronounced verticality and clear terminal shaping that stays visible at display sizes. The narrow fitting and contained counters suggest it will look best with comfortable tracking and adequate line spacing to keep paragraphs from feeling too tight.
