A tall, condensed serif with gently flared stroke endings and crisp, wedge-like terminals. The letterforms show moderate stroke modulation with a vertical stress, producing a clean, upright texture. Serifs are subtle and tapered rather than blocky, and joins feel slightly calligraphic, especially in curves and diagonals. Counters are relatively narrow, ascenders are prominent, and the overall rhythm is compact and vertical, giving lines of text a stately, columnar look.
This typeface fits editorial typography, book or magazine settings, and cultural/academic materials where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works well for headlines, titling, and branding that benefit from a narrow footprint and a refined, authoritative presence.
The font conveys a poised, bookish refinement—formal without being ornate. Its narrow, upright stance and sharpened terminals create a dignified, editorial tone suited to classic or ceremonial messaging.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with subtly flared, calligraphic finishing, creating a compact, upright face that reads as formal and composed while remaining distinctive in display sizes and dense text settings.
In text, the condensed proportions increase density and help create strong vertical emphasis, while the flared terminals keep strokes from feeling mechanical. Numerals and capitals maintain the same tall, restrained posture, reinforcing a consistent, dignified texture across headings and paragraphs.
