A serif design with sculpted, calligraphic construction and bracketed terminals that often taper into pointed, wedge-like serifs. Strokes show moderated contrast with smooth transitions, giving counters a rounded, slightly engraved feel. Proportions lean tall and stately, with a relatively generous x-height and crisp, open apertures that keep paragraphs readable. The overall rhythm is lively rather than strictly geometric, with subtle flare and curvature in stems and joins that creates a distinctive, decorative serif texture in text.
It suits editorial typography where a distinctive serif voice is desired—magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes—while also scaling well for headlines and display settings. The decorative terminal treatment can add character to branding, packaging, and poster work without losing a traditional serif foundation.
The font projects a classic, bookish tone with a refined, slightly dramatic edge. Its sharp, flared terminals and flowing serif forms evoke traditional print and historical lettering while still feeling purposeful and contemporary enough for modern editorial use.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif readability with a more expressive, flared terminal language, creating a recognizable texture on the page. It aims to feel rooted in print tradition while offering enough stylistic individuality to stand out in titles and branded typography.
Uppercase forms read formal and monumental, while lowercase shows more personality through curved entries, tapered joins, and expressive terminals. Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, with clear shapes and a slightly ornamental finish that matches the letterforms.
