A refined serif with relatively narrow proportions and a crisp, high-contrast build. Stems stay clean and straight while terminals and serifs flare outward, producing sharp wedge-like endings and subtle bracketing that helps the strokes feel anchored. Curves are controlled and slightly condensed, with compact counters and a steady rhythm that keeps text looking orderly. The overall color is dark and authoritative, with clear vertical emphasis and neat joins that read well in display sizes and strong subheads.
This face suits headlines, section titles, pull quotes, and book or magazine cover typography where a classic serif presence is desired. It also works for posters and identity work that needs a traditional, authoritative tone, especially when set with generous tracking and line spacing.
The tone is classic and editorial, evoking book typography and traditional publishing. Its flared endings and disciplined proportions give it a formal, slightly dramatic voice that feels established and trustworthy rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with added sharpness and energy through flared, wedge-like endings. It balances legibility with a more expressive, engraved-influenced finish, aiming for confident display typography that still feels rooted in literary and editorial conventions.
The capitals present a particularly stately presence, while the lowercase maintains a compact, structured texture with pointed, calligraphic-like terminals. Numerals match the serif vocabulary with firm verticals and decisive finishing strokes, reinforcing a cohesive, print-leaning character.
