A compact serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a slightly engineered, faceted construction in several curves. Bowls and round forms tend toward octagonal shaping, with small notches and cut-ins that give counters a hard-edged, almost stamped look. Stroke modulation is present but restrained, and terminals are clean and squared rather than calligraphic. Capitals are tall and tidy with a disciplined rhythm, while the lowercase mixes traditional proportions with distinctive details (notably in curved letters and the double-storey forms), producing a textured, print-like color.
Well-suited to editorial design, book interiors, and historical or period-flavored branding where a traditional serif needs extra character. It can add authority to pull quotes and subheads, and works especially well in short to medium passages where its textured detailing remains legible without becoming busy.
The overall tone feels archival and utilitarian, reminiscent of late-19th/early-20th-century printing—serious, slightly industrial, and a bit eccentric. Its chiseled curves and sharp joins add a subtle decorative edge that reads as vintage and editorial rather than playful.
Likely intended to evoke classic print typography with a slightly ornamental, constructed twist—balancing conventional serif structure with faceted curves and small cut-ins to create a distinctive, vintage-forward voice.
Numerals and several round letters show consistent faceting that reinforces a mechanical, letterpress-inspired personality. The narrow set and tight internal shapes create a strong vertical emphasis, making the face look efficient and space-conscious while still clearly serifed.
