A serif text face with gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs, giving the outlines a subtly sculpted, calligraphic feel. Strokes show clear but not extreme thick–thin modulation, with crisp terminals and steady verticals that keep the color even in running text. Proportions are balanced and traditionally bookish: uppercase forms are stately with ample counters, while the lowercase has compact, readable shapes and a conventional two-storey a with a single-storey g. Numerals follow the same serifed, old-style-leaning construction, blending smoothly with text rather than reading as purely geometric figures.
Well-suited to extended reading in books and long-form editorial layouts, where its steady rhythm and controlled contrast support comfortable paragraphs. It also fits magazine features and refined branding applications that benefit from a traditional, literate voice and subtly distinctive flared details.
The overall tone is classical and composed, projecting an editorial, book-oriented seriousness without feeling overly ornate. Its flared finishing and calm rhythm add a subtle warmth that reads as traditional, trustworthy, and polished.
Likely designed to deliver a classic text serif experience with added personality through flared, slightly calligraphic stroke endings. The intent appears to balance timeless proportions with a gently expressive finish that differentiates it in both display lines and continuous text.
In the text sample, word shapes remain stable and well-separated, with clear differentiation between similar forms and a consistent baseline rhythm. The flaring at terminals is noticeable enough to provide character, yet controlled so paragraphs retain a clean, disciplined texture.
