This typeface is a roman serif with crisp wedge-like serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give the letters a carved, calligraphic finish. Strokes show moderate contrast with pronounced thick–thin transitions in curved forms, and the joins are clean and controlled. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly wide in round letters, while the lowercase is compact with tidy bowls and fairly tight apertures. The overall drawing is disciplined and even, with sharp details in diagonals and angled terminals that keep the texture lively in text.
It suits book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and scholarly publishing where a classic serif voice is desirable. The sharper terminal work also makes it a strong choice for titles, pull quotes, and section heads that need a refined, traditional presence.
The tone is traditional and bookish, balancing authority with elegance. Its sharp, tapered details add a hint of formality and historical flavor without becoming ornate, making it feel composed, cultured, and slightly ceremonial.
The design appears intended to deliver a timeless reading serif with added character from flared terminals and wedge serifs—traditional enough for serious text, but distinctive in its crisp, chiseled detailing.
In continuous text, the rhythm reads as crisp and structured, with strong vertical presence and clear word shapes. The numerals match the letterforms in contrast and terminal treatment, maintaining a consistent, editorial color across mixed alphanumeric settings.
