A compact serif with crisp, wedge-like terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a gently tapered, calligraphic feel. The contrast is moderate, with clear thick–thin modeling and clean joins, while the overall color stays even and readable. Proportions are on the condensed side, with relatively narrow capitals and a tidy footprint in text. Serifs appear bracketed and sharp rather than heavy, and curves (notably in C, G, and S) are smooth and controlled. Numerals follow the same disciplined construction, with slender forms and pointed finishing strokes that keep the set cohesive.
Works well for editorial layouts, book typography, and academic or institutional materials where a traditional serif texture is desired. Its compact proportions make it useful for space-conscious settings such as magazines, reports, and long-form reading, while the crisp terminals can also support headings and pull quotes at larger sizes.
The tone is traditional and literate, evoking editorial and academic typography rather than overt display. Its sharp finishing strokes and restrained modulation feel poised and formal, with a slight old-world, bookish character. Overall it reads as serious and established, suited to contexts that benefit from a classical voice.
Likely designed to deliver a compact, classical serif voice with a hint of calligraphic flare, balancing readability with a refined, authoritative presence. The controlled contrast and sharp, flared finishing strokes suggest an intent to echo traditional printing forms while remaining clean and efficient in contemporary text setting.
In the text sample the rhythm is tight and efficient, producing a dense, authoritative texture. The lowercase maintains clear differentiation between similar shapes (e.g., i/l/j and c/e), while the flared terminals add a touch of personality without becoming decorative.
