A serif face with tapered, subtly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that give the outlines a lightly calligraphic feel. Strokes show moderate contrast with crisp joins and smooth curvature, and the letterforms maintain a compact, vertically oriented rhythm. Uppercase proportions are relatively narrow with tall capitals and clean, sharp terminals, while the lowercase keeps a steady, readable texture with clear ascenders and descenders. Numerals appear lining and similarly narrow, matching the text color and overall cadence.
This font suits editorial headlines, book and journal titling, magazine typography, and branding that needs a classic serif tone. It also works well for pull quotes and short-form text where a firm, traditional texture is desirable.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, projecting an editorial seriousness with a refined, bookish presence. Its restrained contrast and tapered terminals add elegance without feeling delicate, supporting an authoritative, established voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with added liveliness from flared terminals—balancing readability and formality while providing enough character for prominent display use.
Curved letters (like C, S, and G) show controlled modulation and confident shaping, and the tapered terminals help prevent heaviness in dense settings. The sample text demonstrates a dark, even color at display sizes, with crisp punctuation and a strong headline rhythm.
