A serif typeface with tapered, flared stroke endings and sharp wedge-like terminals that give letters a subtly chiseled silhouette. Curves are smooth and moderately round, while joins and terminals come to crisp points, producing a lively edge without heavy contrast. Capitals feel stately and evenly proportioned; the lowercase shows a traditional book-face rhythm with compact serifs and slightly sculpted stems. Numerals follow the same carved, flared logic, with clear shapes and restrained ornament concentrated at stroke ends.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is desired, while the flared terminals also help it stand out in headings, pull quotes, and titling. It can lend a crafted, heritage tone to brand identities and packaging that call for a classic, engraved sensibility.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an old-world, inscriptional flavor that reads as formal but not ornate. The pointed terminals add a hint of drama and craft, suggesting tradition, ceremony, and editorial seriousness rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to blend readable, traditional serif proportions with subtly sculpted, flared endings that evoke inscription and calligraphic tooling. It aims to provide a familiar text rhythm while adding a distinctive, refined edge through its pointed terminals and tapered strokes.
The repeated use of small, sharp flares at stroke endings creates a consistent sparkle in text, especially on diagonals (V/W/X/Y) and on letters with curved terminals (C/G/S). The design maintains a steady texture at paragraph sizes while still showing distinctive character in headlines and short phrases.
