A crisp serif with pronounced stroke contrast and subtly flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden into the serifs rather than ending bluntly. Curves are smooth and generously drawn, while verticals feel steady and upright, creating a confident, traditional rhythm. The lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with rounded bowls and tapered joins, and the capitals read as stately with sharp apexes and clean, pointed serifs. Overall spacing appears even and text color is dark and assertive, with a slightly calligraphic modulation evident in diagonals and curved strokes.
Well-suited to editorial design, book and journal covers, magazine headlines, and sophisticated branding where a classic serif voice is needed. It can also serve effectively for pull quotes and titling in print and high-resolution digital layouts, especially when paired with a simpler companion for body copy.
The tone is classic and editorial, evoking book typography, cultural institutions, and heritage branding. Its high-contrast modulation and flared endings add a refined, crafted feeling that reads as serious and authoritative without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif structure with a more sculpted, flared-terminal finish, balancing readability with a distinctive, crafted personality. It emphasizes clear hierarchy and a confident presence in headings and prominent text settings.
The numerals and capitals appear particularly strong at display sizes, where the sharp serifs and contrasting strokes become a defining feature. In longer text, the heavy presence and crisp details suggest best performance where clear hierarchy and a traditional voice are desired.
