A compact serif with distinctly flared, wedge-like stroke endings and small bracketed serifs that give strokes a carved, slightly calligraphic finish. Curves are full and steady, with moderate modulation and crisp, triangular terminals on forms like C, G, S, and the diagonals of K, V, W, X, and Y. The lowercase shows a sturdy rhythm with a double-storey a, a compact e, and a lively, beaked r; ascenders are firm and vertical, and overall spacing reads even and text-forward. Numerals are robust and open, with clear silhouettes and traditional proportions suited to paragraph settings.
It fits well in editorial layouts, book typography, and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired. The crisp wedges and sculpted terminals also make it effective for headlines, mastheads, and identity work that benefits from a classic, authoritative feel, as well as premium packaging or labels needing a heritage-leaning serif.
The tone is classic and bookish, balancing formality with a warm, humanist texture from its flared terminals. It feels editorial and slightly historic, like a contemporary take on engraved or inscriptional serif cues, projecting authority without becoming overly ornate.
The likely intention is to deliver a readable, classic serif with a distinctive flared-terminal signature—adding engraved/inscriptional sharpness to familiar text proportions. It aims to feel traditional and dependable in paragraphs while providing enough sculpted detail to stand out in display use.
The design’s defining character comes from consistent wedge terminals and flared joins that sharpen the silhouette at display sizes while maintaining steady color in text. Diagonal letters and the lowercase k show pronounced triangular detailing, adding a subtle Gothic/inscriptional edge without heavy contrast.
