A compact serif with moderate contrast and a controlled, upright stance. Strokes are clean and slightly tapered, with stems that subtly flare into bracketed serifs and terminals, giving a carved, chiseled finish rather than flat slab endings. Curves are smooth and restrained, counters are relatively small, and overall proportions feel condensed with a steady vertical rhythm. Uppercase forms are sturdy and traditional, while the lowercase maintains a readable, workmanlike structure with crisp joins and clear differentiation between similar shapes.
Well suited to editorial settings such as magazines, essays, and book typography where a compact serif can maintain a firm, consistent texture. It can also support refined headlines, mastheads, and branding that benefit from classic letterforms with subtly flared detailing.
The tone is classic and editorial, balancing traditional book typography with a slightly sharper, more assertive edge. Its flared finishing and tight rhythm lend a dignified, composed feel suited to serious or institutional communication.
The design appears aimed at delivering a traditional serif reading experience with a slightly sculpted finish, combining compact proportions with crisp terminals for authority and clarity in text and display settings.
The sample text shows a consistent texture at paragraph sizes, with a dense color and clear punctuation presence. Numerals share the same sturdy, serifed construction, supporting continuous reading without calling attention to themselves.
