A crisp serif with moderate contrast and a subtly calligraphic build. Strokes taper and widen into flared, bracketed serif-like endings, giving the forms a carved, slightly wedge-shaped finish rather than blunt terminals. The proportions run relatively narrow with a tall vertical emphasis, tight interior counters, and a steady rhythm in text. Curves are clean and controlled, with pointed joins in places and neatly finished diagonals; numerals follow the same disciplined, high-contrast logic with elegant, slender figures.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine settings where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding that benefits from a sharp, flared serif character.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a composed, authoritative voice suited to formal settings. Its sharp, flared details add a touch of gravitas and old-style polish without feeling overly decorative, projecting a refined, editorial seriousness.
Likely designed to blend classical serif conventions with subtly flared, calligraphic terminals to increase presence and distinction. The aim appears to be a readable, disciplined text face that also delivers a recognizable, refined personality in display sizes.
In larger sizes the flared terminals and bracketed joins become a defining texture, creating a lively sparkle along baselines and at stroke endings. In continuous text it maintains a consistent color, with an emphasis on vertical stems and clear word shapes.
