A flared serif with subtly expanding stems and bracketed, wedge-like terminals that read as crisp rather than blunt. The letterforms show moderate stroke modulation and a steady, upright axis, with pronounced triangular joins and tapered entry/exit strokes on many characters. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly wide in presence, while the lowercase maintains a traditional rhythm with clear differentiation between rounds and straights. Numerals are sturdy and well-shaped, with noticeable tapering and serifed details that keep them consistent with the text forms.
This font suits editorial headlines, book jackets, and magazine typography where a classic serif tone is desired with extra bite from flared terminals. It can also support brand identities and posters that need a traditional foundation with a distinctive, crafted edge, and it remains readable for short to moderate passages of text.
The overall tone is literary and editorial, projecting a classic, cultivated voice with a hint of hand-cut sharpness. Its flared endings and crisp terminals add energy and authority without becoming overly ornamental, giving it a confident, traditional demeanor.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with flared, chiseled-like endings for a more expressive, high-impact texture than a conventional oldstyle or transitional text face. Its consistent modulation and sharp terminals suggest an aim toward authoritative display and editorial use while retaining text-friendly clarity.
The design emphasizes strong silhouettes and clear interior spaces, helping letters remain distinct in both display sizes and running text. Diagonals and curved strokes finish with pointed, directional terminals that reinforce a slightly inscribed, crafted character.
