A compact serif with flared terminals and subtly bracketed serifs, combining sturdy vertical stems with moderate stroke contrast. The letterforms feel tall and economical, with a relatively tight set and a steady rhythm across lines. Curves are clean and controlled, and joins transition smoothly into widened stroke endings, giving a lightly carved, sculptural impression without becoming decorative. Numerals and capitals share the same upright, disciplined structure, producing a cohesive, text-ready texture.
Well suited to editorial typography such as books, long-form articles, and literary layouts where a compact serif can maintain strong word shapes and an even texture. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional branding that benefits from a refined, traditional voice.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a quiet authority that reads as editorial and institutional. The flared endings add a hint of gravitas and historic flavor, suggesting print heritage while remaining restrained and practical.
The design appears intended to provide a space-efficient serif with a classic presence, using flared stroke endings to add character and firmness while keeping the overall forms disciplined and readable.
In the text sample, the narrow proportions and consistent vertical stress create a dense, even color that suits continuous reading. The flaring at terminals helps maintain clarity at larger sizes and gives headings a dignified snap without relying on heavy weight.
