A traditional serif with subtly flared stems and bracketed serifs, showing a measured, medium-contrast rhythm. The proportions are relatively narrow with compact letterforms and a straightforward, upright stance. Strokes feel slightly calligraphic at terminals, with clean, tapered joins and controlled curvature in rounds. Lowercase forms are compact with a normal x-height and clear differentiation between counters, while capitals remain stately and evenly weighted for headline use.
Well suited to editorial typography—headlines, decks, pull quotes, and book or magazine applications where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also support formal branding and packaging that benefits from a composed, traditional tone and a slightly crafted finish at stroke endings.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a formal, slightly old-style seriousness that reads as editorial and bookish. The flared stroke endings add a refined, crafted feel without becoming decorative, lending a poised, authoritative voice.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif texture by combining traditional proportions with subtly flared, gently calligraphic terminals for character and clarity. It aims for a confident, editorial presence that stays readable while providing a refined, literary flavor.
Curves and diagonals maintain a consistent tension, giving the design a crisp silhouette in both text and display sizes. Numerals follow the same restrained, traditional logic, matching the text color and spacing of the alphabet without calling undue attention.
