This is a conventional serif with pronounced, bracketed wedge serifs and a distinctly calligraphic modulation. Strokes show clear thick–thin behavior without becoming hairline, and many terminals finish in sharp, slightly flared points that give the outlines a carved, sculptural feel. Proportions are generous and open, with broad capitals and rounded bowls; curves are smooth and the joins are clean, producing an even rhythm in text despite the lively serif shapes. Numerals follow the same crisp, tapered logic, with strong verticals and pointed terminals that keep them visually aligned with the letterforms.
It fits well in editorial settings such as books, long-form articles, and magazine layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. The crisp wedges and strong silhouettes also make it effective for display uses like section heads, pull quotes, and refined brand wordmarks, especially when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, projecting a composed, authoritative voice. Its sharp, flared detailing adds a hint of drama and ceremony, making the texture feel more stately than neutral while remaining suitable for extended reading.
The design appears intended as a traditional text serif that balances readability with expressive, flared finishing. It aims to deliver a familiar literary foundation while adding a slightly more decorative, engraved-like edge for emphasis in both text and titling contexts.
Pointed feet and beak-like terminals appear consistently across uppercase and lowercase, creating a distinctive sparkle at larger sizes. The italic is not shown; the sample indicates a steady, upright text color with lively edge detail rather than soft, rounded finishing.
