A crisp serif with gently bracketed, flared terminals and subtly calligraphic modulation. Strokes taper into wedge-like serifs rather than blunt slabs, giving the outlines a carved, slightly incised feel. Capitals are roomy with smooth, rounded bowls (C, O, G) and restrained detailing, while lowercase forms keep an even rhythm with modest extenders and open apertures. The numerals are straightforward and text-friendly, matching the same tapered terminal logic and maintaining a consistent color in lines of copy.
Well-suited to book typography and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice and comfortable paragraph color are needed. The elegant, tapered terminals also make it effective for refined headlines, cultural branding, and formal printed materials such as invitations or programs.
The overall tone reads traditional and literary, with a poised, slightly ornamental finish that feels established rather than trendy. Its tapered serifs and calm rhythm suggest formality and credibility, while the softened curves keep it approachable for continuous reading.
The design appears intended to blend familiar old-style readability with a more decorative, flared terminal treatment, providing a distinguished serif for both text and display use. It balances quiet authority with just enough sculpted detail to stand out in titles and pull quotes.
Distinctive points include the triangular, flaring feet on letters like A, V, W, and Y and the small, sharp finishing strokes on joins and arms that add sparkle without becoming overly fussy. In running text the face keeps a stable texture, with detail concentrated at terminals rather than in high-contrast hairlines.
