This typeface is a serif with subtly flared stroke endings and small, bracketed serifs that give stems a tapered, chiseled finish rather than blunt terminals. Strokes show moderate contrast with clearly defined thick–thin transitions, especially in rounds and diagonals, while maintaining a steady, readable texture in text. Proportions are on the condensed side, with relatively tall capitals and compact lowercase forms; bowls and counters are slightly tight, contributing to a firm, vertical rhythm. Numerals are similarly restrained and upright, matching the text color and contrast of the letters.
It suits editorial settings such as magazines, essays, and long-form reading where a classical serif texture is desired. The condensed proportions and confident contrast also make it effective for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and institutional or academic typography where space economy and authority are useful.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a composed, bookish presence that reads as serious and cultivated. The flared terminals add a faintly calligraphic, inscriptional nuance, lending a subtle sense of craft and authority without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to balance traditional serif readability with a slightly sharpened, flared finishing that adds character and vertical emphasis. It aims for a compact, efficient rhythm that remains dignified and legible across both display lines and continuous text.
In the sample text, the letterspacing and narrow set create a dense, efficient line that holds together well at larger sizes while still resembling a robust text face. The shapes feel disciplined and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, with crisp joins and controlled curves that keep the design from looking soft or casual.
