A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than purely mechanical. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with sharp, clean joins and gently bracketed transitions into the serifs. Uppercase forms are stately and open, with crisp horizontals and tapered ends, while the lowercase carries a slightly calligraphic rhythm; the two-storey a and g, narrow-shouldered r, and long-tailed y and j reinforce an old-style text color. Numerals follow the same contrast and tapering, producing a cohesive, print-like texture in running copy.
Well suited to long-form editorial settings such as books, essays, and magazines where a classic serif texture is desired. The crisp contrast and flared terminals also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and brand identities that need a refined, traditional tone, and it can lend formality to invitations and cultural materials.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, suggesting bookish authority and a measured, editorial voice. Its sharp contrast and flared finishing give it a refined, slightly dramatic presence suited to formal communication rather than casual UI neutrality.
Likely designed to blend traditional serif readability with a more sculptural, flared-stem finish, creating a face that feels both literary and distinctive. The intent appears to be a versatile print-oriented serif with enough personality for display while staying disciplined in text.
In text, the face maintains a steady baseline and clear word shapes, with distinctive details (notably the g, j, and y descenders and the tapered terminals on C/S) that add character. The caps read particularly strong for titling, while the lowercase keeps enough softness in curves to remain comfortable in paragraphs.
