A serif design with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and finer connecting strokes, producing a crisp, chiseled color on the page. Stems often swell subtly toward the terminals, and the serifs read as tapered, bracketed wedges rather than flat slabs, giving many letters a gently flared finish. Curves are full and round (notably in O/C/G), while joins and beak-like terminals on forms such as T, S, and a add a slightly calligraphic bite. The lowercase shows compact, sturdy bowls with a relatively vertical stress and clear differentiation between characters; overall spacing feels measured, with a steady, bookish rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where its contrast and flared terminals can provide character and hierarchy. It also works well for book covers, pull quotes, and magazine layouts, and can serve as a strong display serif for posters and refined branding when paired with a quieter companion text face.
The tone is traditional and editorial, with a confident, slightly dramatic presence driven by sharp serifs and strong thick–thin patterning. It evokes established print typography—serious, cultivated, and a touch ceremonial—without feeling overly ornate. The overall impression is authoritative and refined, suited to settings where credibility and polish matter.
The likely intention is to deliver a classic serif voice with added sharpness and personality through tapered, flared endings and high-contrast drawing. It aims to feel familiar and literary while offering a slightly more sculpted, contemporary edge for modern editorial and display use.
The design’s tapered terminals and swelling stems create a sculptural, ink-on-paper feel, especially at larger sizes where the wedge serifs and pointed details become more pronounced. Uppercase forms read stately and stable, while the lowercase maintains clarity with distinctive terminals and a robust, typographic texture.
