A narrow serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a gently sculpted feel. Contrast is moderate, with tapered joins and pronounced triangular/wedge-like terminals visible in letters such as A, V, W, and the diagonal strokes of K and X. The uppercase has tall proportions and strong vertical emphasis, while the lowercase keeps a compact, readable rhythm with rounded bowls and clear counters. Numerals are classic and text-oriented, with open forms and fine finishing details that match the serif treatment.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine work where a classic serif texture is desired. The narrow proportions and pronounced detailing also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a refined, traditional voice in limited horizontal space.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a poised, slightly formal voice. Its sharp serifs and controlled contrast communicate authority and polish without feeling overly ornamental, lending a sober, editorial character to headlines and text alike.
The design appears aimed at delivering a compact, classic serif with a sharpened, flared finish—balancing traditional readability with a slightly more chiseled, display-ready presence.
Spacing and rhythm feel even in running text, with a steady baseline and consistent serif behavior that helps maintain clarity at larger sizes. Curved forms (C, G, O, e) show smooth modulation, while terminals and hooks (f, j, y) add a lightly calligraphic bite that keeps the texture lively.
