A serif typeface with subtly flared, bracketed stroke endings and a sculpted, slightly calligraphic construction. Capitals are sturdy and classical, with crisp terminals and clear stroke modulation that stays moderate rather than delicate. The lowercase shows a compact rhythm with open counters, a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” and a gently angled, pointed “w,” all contributing to an even, readable texture in text. Numerals are sturdy and traditional in feel, matching the letterforms with consistent serif treatment and controlled contrast.
Well suited to editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, from magazine layouts and long-form reading to institutional branding. It also scales convincingly into headings, where the flared terminals and sculpted serifs add character without sacrificing clarity.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, projecting credibility and a sense of heritage without feeling overly ornate. Its flared endings and moderated contrast add a crafted, editorial voice that reads as polished and confident.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with a slightly distinctive, flared-terminal signature—aiming for timelessness, authority, and comfortable text color while still providing enough character for display use.
The design balances sharp, crisp details (notably in diagonals and apexes) with softened transitions at joins, producing a carved, inscription-like finish. Spacing and proportions appear tuned for continuous reading, with strong vertical stress and stable, upright posture.
