A compact serif with sturdy, slightly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that give the forms a carved, tool-like finish. Curves are smooth and controlled, with modest modulation and a consistent, even rhythm across the alphabet. Capitals feel formal and tightly proportioned, while lowercase shows traditional shapes (two-storey a, single-storey g) and a relatively firm, vertical stance. Numerals are clear and sturdy, matching the text weight and serif treatment for a cohesive color in setting.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and other print-forward applications where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve for headlines, titles, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a compact, authoritative presence while retaining legibility in running text.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking printed book typography and institutional formality. Its crisp details and restrained shaping read as confident and established rather than expressive or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, print-classic serif with a slightly sculpted, flared finish—balancing tradition and clarity while maintaining a compact, economical footprint on the line.
The flared joins and tapered terminals add subtle character without calling attention to contrast. Spacing appears geared toward dense, efficient setting, producing a solid, continuous texture in paragraph-like lines.
