This serif typeface shows pronounced stroke contrast with tapered, flared terminals that expand gently at the ends of stems and strokes. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with a subtly calligraphic feel in the way curves resolve into points (notably on C, S, and the diagonal joins of K and X). Proportions are moderate and slightly lively, with a compact lowercase that keeps counters open and a two-storey a and g. The uppercase has strong, sculpted forms and a balanced rhythm, while the numerals follow the same contrast and terminal logic, reading cleanly at text and display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, long-form reading, and book typography where a classic serif voice is desired. The strong contrast and crisp terminals also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from a traditional yet expressive texture.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a refined, slightly dramatic presence from the high contrast and flared endings. It suggests heritage printing and editorial polish rather than a stark modern or geometric mood.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif conventions with flared, calligraphy-informed stroke endings to create a refined text face that still carries personality. Its balance of readability and distinctive terminals suggests a goal of versatile use across both text and display contexts.
In the text sample, the face maintains clear word shapes and consistent color, while the pointed terminals and angled stress add a subtle, energetic texture across lines. The design’s distinctive flare and tapering give it character in headings without becoming overly ornamental in running text.
