A compact serif with moderate stroke modulation and distinctly flared, bracketed stroke endings that give stems a subtly sculpted look. Proportions run narrow with tight overall set and relatively small counters, while curves are smooth and controlled. Serifs are crisp and slightly wedge-like rather than slabby, and many joins show firm, angular transitions (notably in diagonals). Numerals read as oldstyle figures with varying heights and gentle curvature, matching the text rhythm.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a compact serif can conserve space while staying traditional. It can also serve for headings, pull quotes, and institutional materials that benefit from a classic, authoritative voice.
The tone is traditional and book-centered, suggesting editorial polish and a quiet authority. Its flared details add a touch of crafted character without becoming decorative, keeping the overall impression formal and dependable.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, traditionally serifed reading face with a subtle flared-stroke signature for added warmth and craft. It balances conventional text forms with slightly sharpened, sculpted terminals to maintain personality at both display and text sizes.
In text, the narrow letterforms and compact spacing create a dark, economical color that suits dense settings. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly condensed, while the lowercase maintains a familiar reading rhythm with clear, conventional shapes.
