A compact serif with tall proportions, moderate stroke modulation, and strongly bracketed, flared terminals that thicken into the serif ends rather than forming blunt slabs. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with teardrop-like terminals appearing in several lowercases and numerals. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with relatively narrow sidebearings and clear differentiation between thick and thin strokes that remains readable in text. Numerals show a traditional, slightly ornamental feel, with curling details on several figures.
Works well for editorial typography—book interiors, magazine features, and pull quotes—where a traditional serif texture is desired. The distinctive terminals and compact width also make it effective for headlines, chapter titles, and packaging or label typography that aims for a classic, crafted impression.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting a traditional, slightly old-style refinement with a hint of decorative flourish. It feels authoritative and composed, suited to settings that benefit from a heritage or literary voice without becoming overly ornate.
Likely designed to blend a traditional serif foundation with flared, calligraphic finishing to add character and warmth. The intent appears to be a readable, compact face that maintains an elegant, slightly ornamental voice across both text and display sizes.
Uppercase forms read sturdy and stately, while the lowercase introduces more personality through curled tails and soft terminal shapes. The sample text suggests it holds together well in longer lines, with consistent spacing and a crisp, high-contrast silhouette at display sizes.
