A compact serif with sturdy, slightly tapered stems and gently flared stroke endings that give the letterforms a carved, calligraphic feel. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like rather than slabby, and joins and curves are smoothly modeled with moderate thick–thin shaping. The lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with rounded bowls, a two-storey a, a compact e, and a g with a small upper form and a larger lower loop; counters stay relatively tight, reinforcing a dense color on the page. Numerals follow the same oldstyle-inspired construction, with curled or beaked terminals and solid, weighty silhouettes.
It works well for display and editorial settings where a traditional serif voice is desirable, such as headlines, subheads, book jackets, magazine titling, and brand wordmarks. The dense color and distinctive terminals help it hold up in impactful sizes and short-to-medium text blocks where character is a priority.
The font reads as classic and bookish, with a slightly formal, old-world tone. Its flared, softly sculpted endings add warmth and tactility, suggesting editorial seriousness without feeling rigid or overly sharp.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif conventions with subtly flared, calligraphic finishing to achieve an authoritative but approachable presence. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a cohesive, traditional texture suited to publishing and identity work.
Overall spacing and proportions favor a tight, economical texture, and the distinct terminal shapes (beaks, curls, and wedges) create a lively rhythm in headlines and short passages. The design’s consistent flare and bracketing keep it cohesive across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
