A compact serif with crisp, wedge-like serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that create a carved, inked feel. Strokes show moderate contrast with a lively, slightly calligraphic modulation, and curves are tightly drawn for an efficient, text-ready color. Serifs are generally bracketed and pointed rather than blocky, with frequent triangular terminals on arms and feet. Proportions are condensed overall, with a steady rhythm in running text and clear differentiation between uppercase and lowercase forms; numerals include oldstyle figures that sit comfortably in text.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and academic material where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for literary titles, chapter headings, and print branding that benefits from a compact, sharp-serif look.
The overall tone feels classical and bookish, with a slightly dramatic sharpness that reads as traditional rather than modernist. Its pointed terminals and compact stance suggest editorial seriousness and a refined, heritage-minded voice.
Likely intended as a distinctive, traditionally rooted text serif that adds personality through pointed, wedge-like finishing while keeping a disciplined, narrow silhouette for efficient composition.
The design leans on angular details—especially on diagonals and arm endings—which adds snap in headlines while maintaining a consistent texture in paragraphs. The figures and punctuation visually match the serif shaping, reinforcing a cohesive, print-oriented personality.
