A crisp serif design with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and hairline joins, paired with tapered, flared terminals and bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanical. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow with sharp apexes (A, V, W) and clean, controlled curves (C, G, O). Lowercase shows a readable, bookish rhythm with compact bowls and sturdy verticals; the two-storey a and g are traditional, with a clear ear on g and a strong, serifed structure throughout. Numerals are old-style in feel, with varied silhouettes and curved details, contributing to an uneven, lively texture in running text while maintaining overall discipline and alignment.
Well suited to magazines, book interiors, and literary publishing where a classical serif voice is desired. It also performs well for headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand identities that need a traditional, authoritative tone with a slightly calligraphic finish.
The font conveys a scholarly, print-native tone—confident, traditional, and slightly ceremonial. Its sharp contrast and flared finishing give it a refined, authoritative presence that reads as editorial and literary rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a subtly flared, calligraphic stroke ending, creating a familiar reading texture while adding sculpted character in terminals and joins. It aims for strong typographic presence and clear tradition-forward legibility in editorial settings.
In text, the spacing and stroke economy produce a strong black–white pattern with bright counters and crisp hairlines, making it especially striking at display and editorial sizes. The italic is not shown; the roman’s flared terminals provide much of the expressive character without resorting to heavy ornament.
