This typeface is a compact serif with flared, wedge-like terminals that widen from the stems and create a chiseled, ink-trap-free silhouette. Strokes show a measured contrast with sturdy verticals and tapered joins, giving letters a sculpted, slightly calligraphic rhythm rather than a strictly geometric one. Serifs are sharp and triangular, counters are relatively tight, and curves (notably in C, G, S, and e) are drawn with a controlled, upright tension. Overall spacing and proportions feel condensed and economical, supporting dense setting while keeping letterforms distinct.
It works well for editorial design—magazine headlines, section openers, and pull quotes—where a compact serif with strong personality adds authority. In books and long-form settings it can create a traditional texture, especially in moderate sizes, while its sharp terminals also make it effective for logos, packaging, and institutional branding that needs a classic voice.
The font projects a classic, bookish tone with a formal, old-style sensibility. Its flared terminals and compact proportions add a hint of vintage editorial character—authoritative and slightly dramatic without becoming ornamental. The texture on the page reads serious and traditional, suited to content that benefits from gravitas.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with the distinctive presence of flared terminals, producing a compact, high-impact texture. It aims to feel established and literary while remaining crisp and structured for modern editorial layouts.
The numerals follow the same tapered, wedge-terminal logic as the letters, with clear shapes that lean toward display-like presence in larger sizes. Lowercase details (such as the ear on g and the hooked, tapered joins in r and y) reinforce a crafted, pen-informed feel, while the overall color remains even enough for continuous text.
