This serif typeface shows gently flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that read as carved rather than sharply bracketed. Strokes have a subtle calligraphic modulation, with slightly tapered joins and terminals that broaden into soft, triangular feet and tips. Proportions are balanced and readable, with open counters and a steady rhythm in text; round letters stay smooth and generous, while verticals remain crisp without feeling rigid. Details such as the ear and terminals on lowercase forms and the understated top serifs on capitals add a controlled, bookish texture.
Well-suited to book interiors, essays, and other long-form editorial settings where a traditional serif voice and steady readability are desired. It can also support magazine typography and restrained branding applications that benefit from a classic, crafted serif presence.
Overall it conveys a composed, traditional tone with a touch of warmth from the flared terminals and calligraphic tapering. The impression is editorial and literary rather than technical, suggesting careful typesetting and a quiet sense of craft.
The design appears intended to bridge an inscriptional, flared-serif character with practical text readability, delivering a familiar serif color while adding a subtle handcrafted edge through tapered strokes and broadened terminals.
In the grid, capitals feel slightly more formal and inscriptional, while the lowercase introduces more fluidity through curved terminals and a readable, text-oriented construction. Numerals appear lining and similarly flared, matching the serif logic so figures sit comfortably alongside running text.
