A high-contrast serif with modulated strokes and distinctly flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden at the ends rather than finishing as blunt slabs. Serifs are sharply defined and often bracketed into the stems, giving the letterforms a carved, calligraphic feel. Capitals are stately and wide-set with clear inner counter shapes, while the lowercase shows a conventional two-storey a and g, compact joins, and a slightly lively rhythm from the swelling terminals. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with elegant curves and pronounced terminal treatment that stays consistent across the set.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and refined collateral like programs or invitations, where the flared terminals can contribute character without feeling decorative.
The overall tone is classical and literary, combining formality with a subtle handwritten energy. Its sharp serifs and flared endings convey refinement and authority, making the texture feel editorial rather than purely utilitarian.
Likely designed to offer a classic serif reading experience with added personality through flared stroke endings and crisp contrast, bridging traditional book typography with a slightly expressive, calligraphic finish.
In text, the strong thick–thin transitions create a bright page color with crisp edges; the tapering and flare details become more prominent as sizes increase. The design maintains a cohesive terminal language across curves and verticals, helping mixed-case settings look unified.
