A conventional serif with strongly bracketed, flared serifs and a noticeably sculpted, calligraphic stroke. The contrast is pronounced, with thin hairlines and heavier main strokes, and terminals often finish in tapered wedges rather than flat cuts. Proportions read broad and spacious, with generous letter widths and open counters that keep the texture readable despite the contrast. The lowercase shows a traditional text rhythm with a two-storey “a” and “g,” prominent foot serifs on verticals, and rounded bowls that sit on a steady baseline.
This design suits long-form editorial and publishing work where a traditional serif texture is desired, including book interiors, magazines, and reports. The broad proportions and strong modeling also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and brand typography that benefits from a classic, refined voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking printed book typography and formal editorial settings. Its flared details and high-contrast modeling add a slightly dramatic, historic voice that feels established and authoritative rather than utilitarian.
The font appears intended to modernize a traditional book serif with pronounced flaring and high-contrast detailing, balancing familiar readability with a more sculptural, display-friendly presence.
Spacing appears comfortable and the forms maintain a consistent serif treatment across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. The numerals follow the same engraved-like modulation, with clear shapes and strong top/bottom anchoring that supports display and text use.
