A compact serif with bracketed, gently flared endings and tapered stroke transitions that add a subtle calligraphic feel without becoming ornamental. The serifs are sharp and controlled, with noticeable bracketing and a slightly wedge-like presence at terminals. Counters are moderately open and the overall fit is on the tight-to-moderate side, creating a steady text rhythm. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and traditional, while the lowercase shows lively details such as a two-storey a and g and a narrowly drawn, slightly angled e-structure that keeps the texture active.
Works well for editorial typography—book interiors, long-form articles, and magazine layouts—where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also suits headings, pull quotes, and formal brand materials that benefit from a restrained, classic voice.
The tone is classic and editorial, with a bookish seriousness suited to traditional publishing and institutional communication. Its flared finishes and crisp serif treatment add a hint of refinement, projecting confidence and authority rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with a contemporary crispness, using subtle flaring and tapered strokes to keep the letterforms lively and distinctive while remaining highly legible.
The numerals and capitals read clearly at display sizes, with strong vertical emphasis and distinct silhouettes. Diacritics aren’t shown, but the visible glyph set maintains consistent terminal logic across curves and stems, giving the design a cohesive, disciplined look.
