A compact, text-oriented serif with subtly flared terminals and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that give strokes a gently sculpted finish. The design keeps contrast restrained while emphasizing verticality, with tall capitals and a steady, columnar rhythm. Curves are taut and slightly squared at joins, and many letters show small spur details and firm, planar terminals. Lowercase forms are compact with a tidy x-height, modest apertures, and short, controlled ascenders and descenders that help keep word shapes tight.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a compact footprint and steady texture are valuable. It can also serve for narrow headlines, subheads, captions, and packaging or labeling that benefits from a classic serif voice without relying on high contrast.
The overall tone feels editorial and traditional, with a quiet authority suited to serious subject matter. Its narrow stance and crisp finishing details evoke book typography and institutional printing, projecting a composed, slightly austere personality rather than playful or casual energy.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient serif with a traditional, print-rooted voice, using flared endings and bracketed serifs to add warmth and structure while keeping the overall texture even and controlled for text and editorial typography.
Numerals and capitals read sturdy and inscriptional, with clear, straight-sided construction and consistent terminal treatment. The ampersand is compact and traditional in feel, and the overall spacing appears designed to maintain a dense, economical color in text.
