A compact serif with crisp, high-contrast strokes and distinctly flared, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are sharp and slightly bracketed, giving stems a subtly sculpted, calligraphic finish without becoming ornate. Curves are round but tightly drawn, while verticals stay dominant, producing an efficient, condensed texture in lines of text. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and traditional; lowercase shows compact counters and a steady, controlled rhythm.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its condensed proportions and flared details can add presence without heavy weight. It also fits book-cover titling, magazine-style editorial layouts, and branding that wants a traditional, authoritative serif with a slightly sharper edge.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, with a formal, slightly dramatic bite from the sharp terminals and contrast. It suggests tradition and authority, leaning toward editorial and literary atmospheres rather than casual or friendly expression.
The design appears intended to combine a traditional serif foundation with flared, chiseled endings to create a compact, high-impact text color. Its controlled contrast and tight proportions suggest an aim toward efficient setting for display and editorial typography while retaining a classic, literary character.
Spacing and proportions create a dense, economical color that reads well in larger sizes and holds together in headlines. Numerals share the same sharp serif language and contrast, reinforcing a consistent, old-style editorial voice across letters and figures.
