A compact serif with crisp, bracketed terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give verticals a gently tapered, carved feel. The construction is upright with steady rhythm and moderate stroke modulation, balancing sharp inner corners with softened serif joins. Proportions skew narrow with relatively tall capitals and a controlled, readable lowercase; counters stay open and round forms remain sturdy rather than delicate. Numerals and capitals feel aligned for text settings, with clear differentiation and conservative, traditional shapes.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a compact serif can conserve space while staying legible. It also fits institutional communications, reports, and formal branding that benefits from a traditional, authoritative typographic voice.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, projecting authority without feeling ornate. Its flared finishing and restrained contrast add a touch of craft and historic gravitas, making the texture feel composed and editorial.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif readability with subtly flared, sculpted terminals that add warmth and distinction. It aims for an efficient, text-ready rhythm while offering enough character for headings and pull quotes.
In continuous text, the narrow set and firm serifs create a dense, economical color while maintaining clear word shapes. The flared terminals add personality at display sizes, but the design remains disciplined enough to read as a general-purpose serif.
