A condensed serif with low contrast and softly swelling, flared terminals that replace sharper bracketed serifs. Strokes stay fairly even, while the joins and endings broaden gently, creating a carved or calligraphic echo without becoming overtly script-like. Proportions are tight and vertical, with a steady rhythm in text and distinct, tapered silhouettes in capitals and numerals.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine display, and sophisticated branding that benefits from a narrow, refined serif. It can work effectively for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and titling where verticality and character are desirable, and it can also handle short to medium passages when a compact measure is needed.
This font projects a poised, literary tone with a subtle old-world formality. Its narrow stance and gently flared terminals give it a composed, slightly theatrical voice that can feel both classic and a bit idiosyncratic.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience in a space-saving, condensed footprint, while adding personality through flared stroke endings. It aims for clear, stable text color with a distinctive, slightly sculpted finish that stands out in headings and editorial settings.
The sample text shows consistent spacing and an even typographic color, with capitals that feel stately and narrow. Numerals follow the same condensed, flared logic, helping maintain a unified texture across mixed alphanumeric settings.
