A serif typeface with gently flared, bracketed stroke endings and a moderately calligraphic construction. Strokes show subtle contrast with smoothly tapered joins rather than sharp slab terminals, and curves are broad and well-supported, giving letters a steady, bookish rhythm. The capitals feel stately and well-proportioned with crisp, wedge-like serifs, while the lowercase maintains a traditional, readable texture with rounded bowls and a slightly organic, pen-informed modulation.
It performs well for long-form reading such as books and essays, and also suits editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. The dignified capitals and clean serif detailing make it appropriate for titles, institutional materials, and refined branding applications.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an assured, traditional voice suited to serious reading and established brands. Its flared terminals and measured contrast add warmth and refinement without becoming delicate or ornate.
The design appears intended to bridge classic serif tradition with a slightly humanist, flared-terminal character, delivering readability and authority while keeping a warm, crafted feel. It emphasizes dependable text performance with enough distinctive serif shaping to stand out in headlines and pull quotes.
In text, the font forms a calm, even paragraph color with clear word shapes and a restrained, timeless presence. Numerals appear text-friendly and consistent with the serif detailing, maintaining the same tapered finishing and moderate contrast.
