A flared serif with sculpted, wedge-like terminals and subtly bracketed joins that give strokes a carved, engraved quality. The design shows moderate contrast and a steady vertical stress, with sturdy main stems that broaden into tapered endings rather than flat slabs. Proportions feel traditional with balanced capitals and a compact, readable lowercase; counters are open and the rhythm is even in text. Numerals appear lining and clear, matching the serifed, slightly tapered treatment of the letters.
It performs well in editorial settings—from book typography to magazine features—where its classic structure and crisp terminals maintain a steady text color. The confident capitals also suit headlines, identity work, and packaging that aims for a traditional, premium impression.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, projecting tradition and authority without feeling overly ornate. Its sharp, chiseled terminals add a faint historical and institutional flavor, suitable for work that wants to feel established and credible.
The font appears designed to reinterpret classic serif proportions with flared, chiseled terminals to achieve a distinctive, engraved presence while staying practical for continuous reading. It balances heritage cues with a controlled, contemporary regularity for versatile editorial and display use.
Capitals have a stately presence with clean, decisive serifs, while the lowercase keeps a robust, slightly calligraphic energy through flared stroke endings and firm curves. In the text sample the color is strong and consistent, producing a confident texture that favors clarity over delicacy.
