A compact serif with lively, slightly idiosyncratic detailing. Strokes show moderate contrast with subtly modulated curves and tapered joins, paired with bracketed, lightly flared serifs that keep the texture crisp rather than heavy. The proportions are condensed overall, with a relatively small x-height and prominent ascenders, giving lowercase a tall, vertical rhythm. Curves (C, G, S, e) feel gently calligraphic, while straight-sided capitals (E, F, H, N) stay firm and upright; terminals and spurs add a hand-tuned, slightly uneven charm without becoming rough.
Well-suited to book interiors, long-form editorial, and magazine typography where a compact measure is useful and a classic voice is desired. It also works for literary titles, pull quotes, and refined packaging that benefits from a traditional serif with distinctive personality.
The tone is literary and traditional, but not strictly formal—more like a vintage book face with a wink. Its narrow footprint and animated terminals create an editorial voice that feels cultured, slightly eccentric, and human rather than mechanical.
The design appears intended to provide a compact, readable serif texture while preserving a crafted, slightly decorative character through tapered serifs and nuanced terminals. It balances conventional structure with recognizable quirks to stand out in headlines and remain comfortable in text.
The sample text shows even color in running lines, with narrow word shapes and clear punctuation. Numerals appear oldstyle-leaning in feel through their varied silhouettes and soft curves, matching the text-centric rhythm. Distinctive letterforms—such as a compact, looped g and a gently curled ear on r—contribute to recognizability in display sizes.
