A sculpted, text-oriented design with clear stroke modulation and sharp, wedge-like terminals that give many stems a subtly flared finish. Curves are smooth and rounded but often resolve into crisp points, creating a rhythmic interplay of soft bowls and knife-edged joins. Proportions feel balanced and moderately compact, with a steady vertical posture and consistent spacing that supports continuous reading. Numerals share the same chiseled, high-definition edge treatment, with distinctive diagonals and slightly tapered strokes.
Well suited to editorial systems where you want a traditional, cultivated voice—magazines, books, and longform articles—while also working confidently for headlines and subheads. The distinctive wedge terminals and contrast can add character to branding, packaging, and posters when set larger.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, evoking book typography and heritage publishing. Its sharp terminals and controlled contrast add a refined, slightly dramatic flavor that reads as premium and carefully crafted rather than purely utilitarian.
Likely designed to combine the familiarity and readability of a classic text face with a more contemporary, sharpened terminal treatment for added presence. The consistent modulation and chiseled details suggest an intention to feel authoritative and polished in both reading and display contexts.
The face shows a consistent “carved” logic across caps, lowercase, and figures—especially in diagonals and stroke endings—producing strong silhouettes at display sizes while keeping enough regularity for paragraph settings. Round letters stay open and clean, and the pointed terminals add texture without turning into overt ornament.
