A serif typeface with gently flared stems and bracketed, wedge-like terminals that broaden into the serifs rather than ending abruptly. Stroke modulation is subtle, with a steady, even rhythm and slightly tapered joins that give the outlines a carved, calligraphic feel. Proportions are balanced and traditional, with rounded bowls, open apertures, and sturdy verticals; the lowercase shows a compact, readable structure and the figures sit comfortably alongside the text with clear, stable shapes.
Well-suited to book typography and editorial layouts where a classical serif texture is desired, and it also performs effectively in academic or institutional communications. The distinctive flared terminals give it enough character for branding and display headlines while remaining restrained and highly readable for paragraph settings.
The overall tone feels traditional and bookish, with a quiet authority suited to established institutions and long-form reading. Its flared endings add a touch of warmth and craft, keeping the voice more human and less mechanical than a strict transitional serif.
Likely designed to reinterpret classic serif proportions with flared, tapered stroke endings that echo broad-nib or engraved letterforms. The intention appears to balance durability and legibility with a subtle handcrafted signature, making it adaptable across both text and display contexts.
In text, the face maintains strong cohesion through consistent terminal treatment and measured spacing, producing a smooth line texture that stays calm at larger sizes. The wedge-like serifs and subtle tapering help letters separate cleanly without looking sharp or overly ornate.
