This serif typeface shows flared stroke endings with wedge-like serifs and a clear, chiseled outline. Stems feel sturdy with moderate thick–thin modulation, and many joins and terminals taper to pointed or angled finishes, giving the forms a slightly calligraphic edge. Uppercase proportions are compact and vertical, with distinctive, sculpted bowls and spurs; the lowercase maintains a straightforward rhythm with sturdy verticals and small, controlled apertures. Numerals are compact and traditional in feel, matching the serif logic and tapered terminals throughout.
Best suited for headlines, book and magazine titling, and other editorial settings where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also support branding and poster work that benefits from a formal, crafted look, especially at larger sizes where the flared terminals and wedge serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a slightly dramatic, carved quality that reads as confident and refined. Its flared details add a hint of historical gravitas, suggesting literature, print tradition, and formal communication rather than casual or utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with flared, tapering terminals for a more sculptural, print-forward personality. It aims to deliver strong typographic presence and recognizable letterforms while keeping text color controlled and orderly.
In text, the sharp, tapering terminals and sculpted serifs create a lively texture and a strong baseline presence. The narrow set and firm vertical stress make it feel efficient in headlines, while the distinct silhouettes (notably in capitals) help maintain character at display sizes.
