A compact serif with slender proportions and clear, slightly calligraphic modulation. Stems terminate in gently flared, bracketed serifs that read more like broadened stroke endings than blunt slabs, giving the type a carved, ink-on-paper feel. Curves are smooth and moderately contrasted, with crisp joins and tapered terminals; counters are relatively tight, contributing to a dense, efficient texture in paragraphs. Uppercase forms are stately and upright, while lowercase shows traditional book-face structures with a two-storey a and g and a balanced, readable rhythm.
Works well for book and magazine typography, especially where a traditional serif voice and compact set are desirable. It can handle editorial headlines and subheads cleanly, and it fits institutional or cultural materials that benefit from a formal, established tone.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an editorial seriousness that feels suited to established institutions and long-form reading. Its flared details add a touch of warmth and craft, keeping the voice refined rather than mechanical.
Likely intended as a contemporary take on a traditional text serif, emphasizing compactness and strong typographic color while using flared endings to add character and maintain clarity. The design balances classical proportions with crisp, controlled detailing for dependable editorial use.
In text, the narrow set and tight counters create strong color and economy of space, while the flared finishing strokes help keep shapes distinct at display sizes. Numerals and capitals carry the same restrained, formal character, supporting consistent hierarchy in mixed typographic settings.
