A serif face with pronounced flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that give letters a subtly carved, tapering feel. Strokes show moderate contrast with crisp, sharply finished terminals and occasional triangular notches at joins, creating lively interior shapes. The proportions are traditional and steady, with rounded bowls, slightly condensed counters in places, and a rhythmic, text-friendly spacing that stays even across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where a traditional serif voice is desired. The crisp flared terminals and strong capitals also work effectively for headlines, title treatments, and branding that aims for a refined, heritage-leaning impression.
The overall tone feels classic and bookish, with an elegant, slightly old-world personality. Its sharp flares and chiseled details add a ceremonial, editorial authority without becoming overly ornate.
Likely designed to blend classical serif readability with a more expressive, carved or calligraphic finish, using flared terminals to add character and presence in both text and display settings.
Several letters show distinctive, sculpted transitions—particularly in diagonals and curved-to-stem joins—reinforcing an incised/calligraphic influence. Numerals and capitals appear robust and display-oriented, while the lowercase keeps a readable, conventional cadence.
