A serif design with distinctly flared, wedge-like terminals and subtly calligraphic modulation. Strokes taper and swell into sharp, triangular serifs, giving stems a carved, chiseled feel while maintaining clear counters and steady spacing. Capitals are stately and open, with pointed joins and crisp endings; the lowercase shows lively details such as a single-storey a and g, a diamond-like i/j dot, and slightly spurred curves that add texture without becoming ornate. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with angled stress and small flares that keep them consistent with the text forms.
Well-suited for editorial typography, book and magazine headings, pull quotes, and cultural or institutional branding where a traditional voice is desired. It can also serve for short text settings where a distinctive, crafted serif texture is an advantage over a neutral oldstyle.
The overall tone is literary and classical, with an old-world elegance that suggests book culture and traditional craftsmanship. Its sharp flares and rhythmic modulation add a hint of drama, making the texture feel expressive yet controlled.
Likely designed to evoke traditional serif typography through flared, wedge-like terminals and calligraphic stroke shaping, balancing readability with a distinctive, engraved character for prominent text use.
The design favors crisp, angular terminals over soft bracketing, which helps it hold up in display sizes and headings while still reading comfortably in short-to-medium passages. The italic is not shown, and the sample indicates a consistent, slightly lively texture across mixed-case text.
