A slender serif with flared stroke endings that widen subtly as they meet the terminals, giving vertical stems a tapered, calligraphic feel. Proportions are notably condensed, with tall capitals and long ascenders/descenders that create a vertical, high-waisted rhythm in text. Contrast is moderate and even, with smooth transitions and small, controlled serifs; curves are narrow and taut, and counters stay compact, reinforcing the tight overall color. Lowercase shows traditional, bookish shapes (notably a two-storey g and a narrow, looping ampersand), while figures are similarly slim and upright, designed to align cleanly within the same compressed texture.
This design is well suited to editorial typography—headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and titling—where a condensed serif can deliver impact without consuming horizontal space. It also fits book and journal applications, cultural branding, and poster work that benefits from a refined, classic tone and a dense, high-contrast text color at larger sizes.
The font reads as classic and literary, with a quiet elegance that feels suited to cultivated, print-minded typography. Its condensed stance adds a hint of authority and seriousness, while the flared terminals contribute a slightly human, pen-like warmth rather than a purely mechanical mood.
The font appears designed to provide a space-efficient serif voice with traditional forms and a distinctive flared-terminal finish. Its intention is likely to balance classic readability cues with a more characterful, tapered stroke treatment for elegant display and editorial use.
In setting, the type forms a dense, vertical texture with pronounced word-shape due to the long extenders and tight widths. Round letters (like O/C/e) remain narrow and upright, and diagonals (V/W/X) are sharp and economical, supporting crisp headlines and compact lines.
