A refined serif with subtly flared stems and tapered, wedge-like serifs that feel cut rather than bracketed. Strokes remain fairly even with gentle modulation, and curves are smooth and open, giving counters a clear, readable rhythm. The uppercase shows traditional proportions and steady verticals, while the lowercase maintains a compact, controlled texture with slightly calligraphic joins and terminals. Numerals match the text color well and share the same crisp, pointed finishing, producing a consistent, dark-but-not-heavy page tone.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for chapter titles, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural branding that benefits from a classical, trustworthy tone.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with a quiet authority that reads as educated and traditional rather than ornamental. The sharp, tapered finishing adds a faintly historic, inscriptional edge, while the even rhythm keeps it grounded for continuous reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional reading experience with added character through flared, tapered endings. It aims for an authoritative, print-oriented texture that bridges calligraphic influence and contemporary consistency for editorial and literary use.
Pointed terminals and flared stroke endings create a distinctive sparkle at larger sizes, especially in diagonals and letter joins, without becoming brittle. In paragraphs the type holds together as a cohesive text face, with enough sharpness to feel editorial and enough restraint to stay readable.
