A serif text face with subtly flared strokes that broaden into bracketed wedge-like serifs, giving letters a carved, slightly calligraphic finish. Strokes show moderate contrast with crisp, pointed terminals and a steady, upright rhythm. Counters are open and rounded, with compact joins and clearly articulated arms and crossbars; the forms stay sturdy at display sizes while retaining a refined, tapered edge. Numerals follow the same flared logic, with strong verticals and sharp finishing details that keep the figures visually aligned with the capitals.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, essays, magazines, and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding that benefits from crisp detail and confident letterforms.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting a composed, authoritative voice without feeling overly rigid. Its flared endings and sharp terminals add a touch of craftsmanship and historic flavor, suggesting editorial seriousness with a warm, human edge.
The design appears intended to bridge classic serif readability with a more crafted, flared finishing style, providing a distinctive texture for text while remaining composed and dependable in tone. Its tapered strokes and sharpened terminals emphasize clarity and character in both display and reading contexts.
Uppercase proportions feel balanced and slightly monumental, while lowercase maintains a clear, readable texture in paragraph settings. The design’s distinctive energy comes from the interplay of tapered strokes and pointed serif details, which adds sparkle and definition in headings and short text.
