This typeface is a serif with distinct flared stroke endings and softly bracketed terminals that give stems a carved, tapering feel. Letterforms show moderate stroke modulation with crisp, triangular serifs and wedge-like feet, producing a steady, slightly calligraphic rhythm. Proportions are balanced and traditional, with relatively generous counters and clear differentiation between capitals and lowercase; the lowercase features a single-storey “a” and a compact, readable “e.” Numerals follow the same flared logic, with open shapes and sturdy verticals that keep them stable in text.
It suits editorial design, book typography, and print-forward branding where a classical serif voice is desired. The pronounced flared endings and crisp serifs make it especially effective for headlines, pull quotes, and titling, while the moderate contrast and open counters keep it comfortable for short-to-medium text blocks.
Overall, the face reads as classic and bookish, with a composed, editorial tone. The flared details add a subtle ceremonial or inscriptional flavor without becoming overly decorative, giving text a confident, slightly old-style gravitas.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional serif typography with an inscriptional, flared-stem character—combining conventional proportions with sculpted terminals to add distinction and authority in display and editorial settings.
In running text the texture is even and dark enough for headings or short paragraphs, while the flared terminals create lively edge detail at larger sizes. The capitals have a dignified presence with sharp, chiseled finishing strokes, and the lowercase maintains a traditional, serif-text cadence.
