A compact serif with a tall, economical set and flared, bracketed stroke endings that give stems a subtly sculpted finish. The design shows clear contrast between thick and thin strokes without feeling delicate, and maintains a steady, upright rhythm in both text and capitals. Serifs are sharp and tapered rather than slabby, with distinct wedge-like terminals on diagonals and a crisp, calligraphic feel in curves. Numerals follow the same narrow, vertical proportions, producing a dense, orderly texture in paragraphs.
Well suited to editorial typography where a compact measure and strong typographic color are useful, such as magazines, books, and newspaper-style layouts. It also performs well for headlines, title treatments, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a traditional serif voice in limited horizontal space.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, with a classic, bookish presence that feels authoritative without becoming ornate. Its narrow proportions and crisp terminals lend a slightly dramatic, old-style elegance suited to serious subject matter and traditional branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient serif for reading and display, combining traditional proportions with flared, sharpened terminals to add character and emphasis. It aims for a composed, authoritative texture in text while retaining enough sculpted detail to stand out in larger sizes.
Capitals read stately and compressed, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward structure and consistent spacing for continuous reading. The flared joins and tapered endings add a crafted, engraved-like nuance that becomes more apparent at display sizes, yet the letterforms remain controlled and systematic in running text.
