A serif typeface with sturdy, slightly flared strokes and bracketed serifs that broaden into wedge-like terminals. The contrast is moderate, with clear thick–thin modulation and smooth transitions in curves. Proportions feel balanced and text-centric: round letters are open and even, counters are generous, and spacing reads steady in running text. Lowercase forms are conventional and readable, with a two-storey “g” and a traditional “a”, plus compact joins and subtly tapered verticals that keep the texture firm without looking mechanical.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, long-form reading, and book typography where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs well for headlines, institutional branding, and formal printed materials that benefit from a confident, classic tone.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting authority and familiarity. Its flared, wedge-ended detailing adds a touch of engraved or stone-cut gravitas while remaining approachable for extended reading.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable text serif with a subtly flared, sculpted finish—balancing legibility and conventional letterforms with a more distinctive, wedge-terminal personality for added character in both text and display settings.
Capitals carry a dignified presence with broad, stable shapes and crisp finishing at stroke ends; the “Q” tail and the diagonal energy in letters like “K” and “R” add a slightly calligraphic liveliness. Numerals appear lining and robust, matching the text weight and maintaining clear differentiation at display sizes.
