A wide, right-leaning serif design with low contrast strokes and distinctly flared terminals that broaden into sharp, chiseled-looking endings. Serifs and stroke ends feel incised rather than flat, with pointed spurs and small triangular notches that add texture at joins and terminals. Curves are smooth and open, while horizontals and diagonals carry a subtle taper that keeps the rhythm lively in text. Uppercase forms are steady and generous, and the lowercase maintains a clear, readable silhouette with an energetic italic flow.
It works well for book and long-form editorial typography where an italic serif with strong personality can carry paragraphs while still staying legible. The distinctive flared endings also suit display uses such as branding, packaging, pull quotes, and headings that benefit from a classic yet characterful voice.
The overall tone reads classic and cultivated, with a faintly theatrical, engraved character that adds drama without becoming ornate. Its italic slant and crisp terminal shaping give it a literary, old-world voice suited to elevated or story-driven typography.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with an italic, flared-terminal construction that evokes carved or pen-formed strokes. The goal seems to be a recognizable texture and historical flavor while keeping letterforms open and usable in continuous text.
The numerals follow the same flared, incised terminal logic, giving figures a cohesive, slightly calligraphic snap. In running text the distinctive spur details become a repeating texture, so spacing and size will influence whether the effect feels refined or more expressive.
