A serif typeface with gently flared, calligraphic stroke endings and compact, bracket-like serifs that read as pointed wedges in places. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with rounded bowls and smooth curves paired with crisp terminals. Uppercase proportions are stately and slightly condensed in feel, while the lowercase has a traditional structure with open counters and a clear, readable rhythm. Numerals follow the same crisp, slightly flared detailing, giving figures a tailored, bookish presence.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial settings where a traditional serif voice is desired, and it also performs strongly in headlines and subheads thanks to its crisp terminals and clear letterforms. The flared finishing makes it a good match for branding, packaging, and institutional materials that need a refined, established tone.
The overall tone feels classic and cultivated, with a composed, editorial voice. Its sharp, flared finishing strokes add a subtle sense of ceremony and authority without becoming ornamental, suggesting tradition, credibility, and polish.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with subtly expressive, flared stroke endings that add character and distinction. It aims for a dependable page texture while providing a slightly ceremonial, crafted edge in display sizes.
Details like the pointed wedge terminals on letters such as T, V, W, and Y and the crisp, sculpted joins give the face a chiseled, engraved quality. The text sample shows steady word color and consistent spacing, with strong silhouette contrast that helps headlines look emphatic and body text feel structured.
