This typeface is a high-contrast serif with pronounced, gently flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that feel more sculpted than mechanical. Stems are sturdy with clear thick–thin modulation, and the joins are clean, producing a crisp, ink-trap-free silhouette at display sizes. Capitals are compact and stately, with sharp apexes (notably in A, V, W, Y) and confident, slightly tapered verticals. Lowercase forms are traditional and readable, with a two-storey a, a classic g, and rounded bowls that keep counters open; the numerals share the same engraved rhythm, with a curving 2 and a strong, round 8.
It fits best in editorial and publishing contexts where a classic, high-contrast serif can carry personality—headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and book or magazine covers. It can also serve in refined brand identities that want a traditional, trustworthy voice with a slightly chiseled, flared finish.
Overall, the font projects a composed, bookish tone—serious without feeling cold. The flared terminals add a subtle calligraphic warmth and a sense of craft, while the contrast and crisp edges keep it polished and authoritative.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with flared, subtly calligraphic stroke endings, creating a display-leaning serif that remains structured and legible. It aims for a timeless, literary presence with enough contrast and detail to feel premium in larger sizes.
In the text sample, the rhythm stays even and dignified, with strong word shapes and clear punctuation. The combination of sharp diagonals and rounded bowls creates a balanced texture that reads as traditional and refined rather than decorative.
