This typeface is a compact, flared serif with crisp wedge-like terminals and subtly tapering strokes that broaden into small triangular serifs. The capitals are tall and relatively narrow with pointed apexes (notably in A, V, W) and clean, slightly softened curves in round forms like C and O. Lowercase letters keep a tight, vertical rhythm with modest, angular serifs and a small x-height; joins and shoulders (m, n, h) feel lightly calligraphic rather than purely geometric. Figures are slender and upright, with simple forms and small finishing flares that maintain a consistent, engraved-like texture.
It suits literary and editorial settings where a classic serif texture is desired—book interiors, essays, poetry, and academic or cultural materials. The narrow proportions also make it useful for space-conscious headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding where an engraved, traditional feel is appropriate.
The overall tone reads traditional and bookish, evoking inscriptional lettering and classic editorial typography. Its narrow, upright stance and sharp terminals lend a disciplined, formal voice, while the gentle flaring adds a crafted, slightly historical character.
The design appears aimed at combining an inscriptional, flared-serif finish with compact proportions for efficient setting, producing a refined serif voice that stays readable while projecting a traditional, cultured tone.
Spacing and proportions emphasize verticality, producing an even, column-like color in text. The contrast stays restrained, so the flared endings provide most of the personality rather than strong thick–thin modulation.
