A serif typeface with bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give the stems a gently swelling, carved feel. The letters show moderate contrast with clean, confident curves and tapered joins, balancing sharp details (notably in diagonals and apexes) with smooth, rounded bowls. Proportions are traditional and steady, with a normal x-height and comfortably open counters; the lowercase reads clearly while retaining a bookish texture. Numerals appear oldstyle, integrating smoothly with the lowercase rhythm.
It suits book and long-form reading, where its traditional proportions and moderate contrast hold up well across paragraphs. It also works for editorial design, cultural branding, and formal printed materials such as invitations or programs, especially where a classic, crafted serif presence is desired.
Overall, the font conveys a classic, editorial tone—measured and cultivated rather than loud. The flared terminals add a touch of warmth and craft, while the tidy serifs keep the voice authoritative and composed.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, tradition-forward serif with a subtle flared-stroke signature, combining familiar book typography cues with a slightly sculpted, artisanal finish.
In text, the face maintains an even color with a slightly calligraphic undercurrent, especially in the way strokes broaden into terminals. The capitals feel stately and well-anchored, and the lowercase ‘g’ and ‘y’ add traditional character without becoming overly ornate.
