A serif typeface with a relatively narrow footprint and clear, rhythmic construction. Strokes show moderate contrast with visibly tapered joins and flared stroke endings, giving verticals a gently swelling, calligraphic feel rather than purely mechanical modulation. Serifs are crisp and mostly bracketed, with sharp, sculpted transitions that keep the outlines lively at display sizes. The lowercase maintains a traditional, readable structure with compact counters and a steady x-height; the numerals follow the same flared, tapered logic for a consistent texture in mixed settings.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors and chapter headings, and magazine layouts where a classical serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and branding that benefits from a traditional, cultivated tone and a compact horizontal set.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting a composed, editorial voice. Its flared, subtly calligraphic endings add a touch of warmth and ceremony, while the narrow proportions keep it efficient and slightly authoritative. The result feels refined and traditional without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif through flared, tapering stroke endings that suggest a broad-nib influence while maintaining a controlled, contemporary regularity. Its proportions and consistent modulation aim to deliver a recognizable, classic voice with added character in larger text settings.
In the text sample, the moderate contrast and flared terminals create a distinctive vertical rhythm and a slightly dramatic silhouette in capitals. The design reads cleanly at larger sizes, where the sharp serifs and tapered details contribute most to its character.
