A refined serif with wedge-like, flared terminals and softly bracketed serifs that give strokes a gently calligraphic finish. The letterforms show moderate contrast with crisp, clean joins and a steady rhythm in text, balancing sharp triangular details against rounded bowls. Proportions feel traditional and compact, with sturdy verticals and well-formed curves; capitals read stately while lowercase maintains a clear, even texture.
Well-suited to magazines, book typography, and long-form editorial where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, title treatment, and brand identities that need an authoritative, heritage-leaning tone without looking overly ornamental.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, suggesting tradition, credibility, and a slightly academic formality. Its sharp, flared endings add a subtle crafted character—more expressive than a plain oldstyle, but still restrained and professional.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional serif through flared, wedge-like finishing and controlled contrast, creating a dependable reading texture with enough edge for display use. It aims for versatility across text and larger sizes while maintaining a cultured, literary presence.
Numerals appear clear and traditional with strong, readable silhouettes at display sizes. Diacritics or extended characters are not shown; the sample emphasizes a confident, high-contrast presence in larger setting while retaining a cohesive text color.
