This serif typeface shows sculpted, flared strokes where stems widen into the terminals, paired with bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than purely mechanical. The contrast is moderate, with clear thick–thin modulation that stays even across the set, and curves that transition smoothly into sharp, tapered endings. Capitals are stately and slightly condensed in presence, while the lowercase reads with open counters, a two-storey “a,” and a relatively tall “t” with a modest crossbar. Figures align with the text color and include oldstyle-like gestures (notably in the curved “2” and “3”), keeping the overall rhythm lively without becoming ornamental.
It performs well in long-form editorial and book typography where a refined serif texture is desired, and it also holds up for headlines and pull quotes thanks to its distinctive flared endings. The design’s cultivated tone makes it suitable for cultural institutions, publishing imprints, and premium branding that wants tradition without heaviness.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, with a measured, editorial seriousness. Flared terminals add a subtle calligraphic warmth, lending the face an elegant, cultured voice suited to traditional, authoritative settings.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif readability with a more sculptural, flared-stem personality—adding warmth and distinctiveness while maintaining a disciplined typographic rhythm.
Spacing and proportions create a steady text color in the sample paragraph, while distinctive terminals (especially on “C,” “S,” and “e”) give the design a recognizable silhouette at display sizes. The serif treatment is consistent across rounds and straights, reinforcing a cohesive, crafted feel.
