This serif shows crisp, sharply cut bracketed serifs with subtle flaring where strokes meet the terminals, giving stems a slightly sculpted, chiseled feel. The contrast is moderate, with clean vertical emphasis and tapered joins that keep counters open and forms legible. Proportions run on the condensed side, with compact letter widths and a steady rhythm in text. Lowercase features a two-storey “a” and “g,” a relatively upright, narrow “e,” and compact bowls that read cleanly at display and text sizes. Numerals are similarly tailored, with tight widths and clear, traditional shapes.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif voice and efficient width are desirable. It also performs convincingly for headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that want a classic, cultivated impression without heavy ornamentation.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with an editorial seriousness that feels confident rather than ornate. The flared detailing adds a hint of calligraphic heritage and crafted sophistication, supporting a refined, slightly authoritative voice.
The design appears aimed at a contemporary interpretation of traditional serif construction, balancing restrained contrast with subtly flared, crafted terminals to maintain clarity while adding character. Its condensed proportions suggest an intention to deliver strong typographic color and economy of space in editorial settings.
In running text, the narrow set and firm verticals create a dense, efficient texture; generous internal counters help prevent it from feeling clogged. The capitals have a stately presence with controlled curves and sharp finishing that suits prominent titling without excessive flourish.
