This typeface presents a traditional serif construction with distinctly flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden at stroke endings. Strokes show a noticeable contrast between main stems and thinner joins, while keeping a steady, controlled rhythm across the alphabet. The serifs are sharp and slightly bracketed in feel, and curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) are smoothly drawn with crisp entry and exit points. Proportions are balanced and upright, with a moderate x-height and clear differentiation between capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
This font is well suited to editorial design, book typography, and formal headlines where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also perform effectively in branding and identity work that aims for heritage or institutional credibility, as well as on certificates, invitations, and display settings where sharp terminals add character.
Overall, the font conveys a classic, editorial tone with a slightly engraved, old-style seriousness. Its pointed terminals and firm verticals give it a confident, authoritative voice suited to traditional publishing and institutional contexts.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional serif typography with a flared-terminal signature, balancing readability with a refined, slightly engraved feel. Its consistent structure and crisp finishing suggest a focus on dependable text performance while retaining distinctive, formal detailing.
The lowercase shows a single-storey g with a pronounced ear and a single-storey a, reinforcing an old-style texture. Numerals are open and sturdy, with the 1 featuring a prominent wedge top and the 2 and 3 finishing in sharp, calligraphic-like terminals. In paragraph text, the strong serifs and crisp terminals create a lively, slightly sparkling texture that benefits from comfortable line spacing.
