A serif typeface with flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden from the stems, giving the letters a subtly carved, chiseled presence. Stroke contrast remains modest, with sturdy main strokes and neatly tapered joins that keep the texture even in text. Proportions are compact and relatively narrow, with slightly animated curves and occasional asymmetrical details that suggest pen-influenced construction rather than strict geometric drawing. The numerals and capitals feel particularly sturdy, while the lowercase maintains clear counters and a steady rhythm at text sizes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book pages, essays, and magazine features where a classic serif voice is desired with a slightly distinctive flare. It can also serve strongly in titles, pull quotes, and brand applications that benefit from a traditional yet characterful tone, including packaging and cultural or institutional materials.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a faintly artisanal, engraved character. It reads as refined and authoritative without becoming delicate, lending a sense of heritage and seriousness to headings and passages alike.
Likely designed to evoke a timeless serif tradition while differentiating itself through flared, wedge-like terminals and restrained contrast. The intent appears to balance readability with a subtly calligraphic, carved finish that adds personality without disrupting continuous reading.
Serif shapes tend toward pointed, triangular spur forms and gently flaring feet, which adds visual bite at the ends of strokes. The setting shows consistent spacing and a stable baseline, producing a calm, editorial color across lines.
