A traditional serif with braced, wedge-like serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give terminals a chiseled, sculpted finish. Strokes show moderate contrast with an upright, slightly calligraphic stress, and the rhythm is steady with open counters and clear, generously shaped bowls. Joins and corners are crisp, with small triangular notches and angled cuts appearing at some connections and terminals, lending a faintly engraved or ink-trap character. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and balanced, while the lowercase maintains a readable, workmanlike texture with straightforward proportions and a clean, well-spaced color in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and magazine work, and headline settings where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also support branding and packaging that aims for heritage, quality, or institutional credibility, especially when set in short blocks of text or prominent titles.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with an authoritative, institutional presence. Its flared terminals and carved details add a touch of ceremony and heritage without becoming ornamental, making it feel confident and formal rather than playful.
Likely drawn to blend conventional serif proportions with flared, chiseled terminals to create a sturdy, timeless texture and a slightly engraved finish. The design appears intended to read comfortably while offering enough distinctive terminal shaping to stand out in titles and identity work.
The sample text suggests strong readability at display and short-text sizes, with distinctive wedge serifs that remain legible in dense setting. Numerals are clear and sturdy, aligning stylistically with the uppercase through consistent terminal shaping and contrast.
