A compact serif with tapered, subtly flared stems and bracketed wedge-like serifs that broaden into the terminals. The contrast is moderate, with crisp transitions and a steady vertical rhythm that keeps paragraphs orderly. Capitals are stately and slightly condensed, while the lowercase shows rounded bowls and sturdy entry/exit strokes that feel gently calligraphic rather than mechanical. Numerals echo the same sharp, flared finishing and maintain an even, text-friendly color.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, book covers, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is needed with a bit of distinctive flare. It can also work for branding and poster typography that benefits from strong vertical presence and refined, traditional detailing.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a confident, authoritative presence. Its flared detailing adds a touch of craftsmanship and warmth, balancing formality with approachability.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic serif reading and display voice while differentiating itself through tapered strokes and flared endings. It prioritizes clear, disciplined rhythm and a polished, print-oriented character.
In the sample text, the face holds together well at display sizes, showing clean word shapes and strong headline impact without becoming overly ornate. The sharpness of the terminals and the controlled narrowing through verticals give it a crisp, engraved-like flavor.
