A serif typeface with crisp, bracketed serifs and subtly flared terminals that give strokes a carved, slightly calligraphic finish. Round letters are open and smooth, with clear thick–thin modulation and a steady vertical stress, while straight stems feel confident and stable. Capitals are broad and evenly proportioned; lowercase forms are compact with sturdy joins and a modest x-height. Numerals are clear and traditional in construction, with strong verticals and neatly finished feet and terminals.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and long-form text, and pull quotes where a traditional serif voice is desired. The confident capitals and crisp terminals also make it effective for headlines, institutional branding, packaging, and formal materials such as invitations and programs.
The overall tone is classical and authoritative, with a refined, editorial polish. Its flared endings and sharp finishing details add a dignified, slightly historic flavor without becoming ornamental or overly decorative.
The type appears designed to blend classical serif structure with subtly flared, carved terminals—aiming for a distinctive, dignified texture that remains readable and composed in both display and text settings.
The design emphasizes clean rhythm and strong word shapes, with pronounced entry/exit details on letters like a, f, r, and t that create a lively texture in text. Uppercase serifs read sharp and decisive, while curved letters maintain generous counters for clarity.
