A compact serif with subtly flared terminals and bracketed serifs that give strokes a gently calligraphic finish. Proportions run on the condensed side, with a relatively tall x-height and short extenders, creating a dense, efficient rhythm in text. Strokes stay fairly even, while joins and terminals show soft modulation; curves are smooth and slightly narrowed, and counters are tidy. Uppercase forms feel stately and controlled, while the lowercase maintains clear, sturdy silhouettes suited to continuous reading.
Works well for editorial typography—books, long-form articles, and magazine layouts—where a condensed footprint and steady texture help fit more text without feeling cramped. It also suits headings, pull quotes, and classic-leaning branding where a refined serif voice is needed at moderate to larger sizes.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with an editorial seriousness that reads as traditional rather than decorative. Its restrained detailing and vertical poise suggest a dependable, academic voice—confident, composed, and slightly old-world.
Designed to deliver a traditional serif color with a compact set width and a subtle flared finish, balancing readability with a distinctive, slightly calligraphic personality. The intent appears to be an all-purpose text-and-display serif that feels established and trustworthy while remaining space-efficient.
The font’s flare at stroke ends and the tapered feel of some terminals add warmth without pushing into high-contrast Didone territory. Numerals appear traditional in construction and sit comfortably with the text, reinforcing a print-oriented, book-typographic character.
