A slanted serif with compact, sturdy letterforms and noticeable flaring where stems transition into the terminals. Serifs are wedge-like and often strongly bracketed, creating a sculpted, slightly calligraphic feel rather than crisp, hairline finishes. Stroke modulation is present but not extreme; counters stay relatively open, and joins are smooth and rounded. The lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with clear ascenders and compact bowls, while capitals are broad and confident with carefully tapered terminals. Numerals read as oldstyle figures with varied heights and a more text-oriented, flowing construction.
Well-suited to book typography, longform editorial layouts, and magazine work where a classic serif tone is desired. It can also serve strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that need a traditional, cultivated presence while retaining a sense of movement.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an editorial seriousness that feels established and slightly dramatic. Its slanted posture and flared endings add warmth and motion, suggesting tradition, craft, and authority rather than a purely neutral voice.
The font appears designed to marry an established serif tradition with a more expressive, flared terminal treatment, delivering a text-capable face that still carries distinctive character in larger sizes.
The design leans on widening terminals and curved serif transitions as the main identity cue, which helps it hold up at display sizes and in short-to-medium text. The ampersand and punctuation style in the sample reinforce a conventional, print-forward personality.
