A compact serif with tall capitals, a comparatively short x-height, and tapered strokes that broaden into subtly flared, bracketed terminals. The stroke contrast stays moderate, with crisp joins and gently rounded transitions that keep counters open despite the narrow set. Curves are controlled and slightly vertical, while details like the ear, beak-like terminals, and small finial-like endings add a sculpted, old-style flavor. Numerals and lowercase follow the same tight rhythm, producing an economical, vertically oriented texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, including book interiors, magazine features, and pull quotes. It also works for narrow headlines and refined branding where a compact footprint and traditional tone help convey seriousness and heritage.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a reserved formality that reads as established and cultivated. Its flared finishing and compact proportions give it a slightly historic, editorial character rather than a purely neutral one.
Likely designed to provide a space-efficient serif with a distinctly flared, crafted finish—aiming for classical readability and a recognizable editorial personality while maintaining a controlled, disciplined rhythm on the page.
In text, the tight fit and short x-height create a darker, more vertical color, with capitals that can feel prominent in mixed-case settings. The punctuation and figures visually match the same tapered, flared logic, supporting consistent typographic color in dense composition.
