A serif text face with subtly flared stroke endings and sharply cut, triangular serifs that read as crisp wedges rather than heavy slabs. Strokes show moderate modulation and a steady, bookish rhythm, with compact joins and slightly sculpted terminals. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase keeps a traditional, readable structure with round bowls and clear counters. Numerals are lining and well balanced, with straightforward forms that sit comfortably alongside the letters.
Well suited to books, long-form editorial layouts, and academic material where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve for institutional or heritage-leaning branding and for headlines that need a dignified, literary tone.
The overall tone is classical and composed, evoking editorial and academic typography. Its sharp serifs and restrained contrast give it a confident, authoritative voice without feeling ornate.
Likely intended as a contemporary take on a classic serif for reading and formal communication, combining traditional proportions with slightly flared, sharpened endings to improve definition and presence.
The design leans on clean, pointed details—especially at serif tips and stroke ends—which adds bite and definition at display sizes while still reading like a text-oriented serif. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the punctuation and figures match the same crisp, formal character.
