This serif typeface shows sculpted, wedge-like serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a gently tapered, carved feel. Contrast is moderate, with rounded bowls and smooth curves balanced by crisp, triangular terminals on letters like A, V, W, and Y. The forms are fairly open and evenly spaced, with a steady rhythm in text; counters remain generous while joins and crotches stay sharp. Lowercase features include a single-storey g and a modest, readable x-height, while numerals are proportioned to sit comfortably alongside capitals without looking overly condensed or wide.
It suits editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired with a bit of sharpness in the details. The distinctive wedge terminals also make it effective for branding, titling, and pull quotes where a refined, authoritative presence helps establish tone.
Overall it conveys a classic, bookish tone with a slightly inscribed, old-world elegance. The flared finishing and wedge serifs add a formal, editorial confidence without feeling stiff, making the voice feel established and literary rather than purely modern.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with flared, wedge-shaped finishing to create a readable workhorse that still has a recognizable, carved personality. It aims for versatility across text and display by keeping spacing and counters open while letting terminal geometry provide the signature.
The italic is not shown; the displayed style relies on strong terminal geometry and clean curve-to-stem transitions to create character at both display and text sizes. The Q’s tail and the pointed diagonal endings add a distinctive, slightly dramatic accent in headlines while remaining controlled in paragraph settings.
