A text-oriented serif with sculpted, slightly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanically slabbed. Strokes show moderated contrast with crisp transitions, and curves are taut with gently tapered joins, giving counters a controlled, slightly teardrop character in places. Uppercase proportions are traditional and sturdy, while the lowercase maintains a clear, readable rhythm with a moderate x-height and compact, steady spacing in paragraph settings. Overall detailing is sharp and consistent, with terminals that subtly widen and add a soft, wedge-like emphasis at key endpoints.
Well-suited for book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice is needed with extra character in the terminals. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a refined, slightly calligraphic serif presence.
The tone is editorial and literary, balancing tradition with a touch of expressive, calligraphic shaping. It reads as confident and cultivated—suited to serious content—while the flared terminals add warmth and personality without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver familiar serif readability while differentiating itself through flared stroke endings and crisp, sculpted detailing. The goal seems to be a versatile, authoritative text face that can also carry personality in larger sizes.
In the sample text, the face holds together well at display text sizes, producing dark, even texture with clear word shapes. The numerals match the letterforms’ sculpted feel, with strong silhouettes and the same tapered, flared finishing on key strokes.
