A crisp serif design with flared terminals that swell subtly as strokes meet the ends, creating a wedge-like finish rather than flat slabs. Serifs are sharp and tapered, and curves are smoothly drawn with a controlled, slightly calligraphic modulation. Proportions are relatively compact with tight internal spacing, while capitals maintain stately width and clear vertical stress. Lowercase forms show traditional text-face construction (two-storey a, compact e, narrow s) with clean joins and an even, rhythmic texture. Numerals are slender and classical in feel, with open counters and delicate terminals that match the serif treatment.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and magazine text where a refined serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for literary titles, pull quotes, and formal collateral such as invitations or programs, where the flared terminals can provide a distinctive, upscale character.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting tradition and careful craft. Its flared endings add a subtle expressive lift, balancing formality with a hint of humanist warmth. The result reads as elegant and authoritative rather than playful or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to modernize a classical serif model by emphasizing flared stroke endings and crisp tapering, producing a refined texture that remains readable in continuous text while offering a recognizable personality in headings.
In longer text, the face maintains a steady typographic color with distinct word shapes and sharp punctuation. The flaring at stroke ends is consistent across letters and figures, giving the font a cohesive signature that becomes more noticeable at display sizes without turning decorative.
