A compact serif with subtly flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that give stems a gently sculpted, tapered feel. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions and soft, slightly bracketed joins, creating an even rhythm without feeling mechanical. Proportions are relatively condensed, with open counters and clean, rounded bowls; diagonals and arches stay controlled and consistent. Numerals are traditional and readable, matching the text color and serif treatment of the letters.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a compact serif needs to stay legible over long passages while still providing personality. It can serve both as a text face for books and magazines and as a restrained display option for headlines, institutional branding, and formal communications that benefit from a traditional, authoritative texture.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, projecting seriousness and credibility while staying approachable. Its flared finishing strokes add a faint calligraphic warmth that keeps it from feeling purely utilitarian, lending a subtly editorial, established voice.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a gently flared, slightly calligraphic finish, creating a dependable reading face that also carries a distinctive, crafted signature. It aims for a balanced text color and consistent rhythm, supporting extended reading while offering a touch of historic, engraved elegance.
Uppercase forms read stately and balanced, while the lowercase maintains clarity in continuous text with tidy ascenders and descenders. The flaring at terminals is most noticeable on vertical stems and at the ends of horizontals, helping the face hold up in paragraphs and headings without relying on heavy contrast.
