A serif text face with softly flared stroke endings and wedge-like terminals that give stems a subtly sculpted, chiseled look. Contrast is moderate, with rounded transitions and a slight calligraphic modulation that reads clearly in continuous text. The capitals are stately and slightly open, while the lowercase shows compact bowls and a gently lively rhythm; details like the ear and terminals add character without becoming decorative. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and a traditional, bookish texture.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books and editorial layouts, where the moderate contrast and traditional proportions produce a comfortable text color. It also performs nicely for display settings—chapter titles, pull quotes, and cultural or academic branding—where the flared terminals can provide a distinctive, classic voice.
The overall tone feels classical and literary, leaning toward a Renaissance or humanist tradition with a warm, slightly dramatic presence. It suggests editorial seriousness and heritage, while the flared finishing strokes add a handcrafted, expressive touch.
Likely designed to evoke a traditional serif reading experience with an added sense of craftsmanship through flared, wedge-like terminals. The intention appears to balance readability with historical flavor, providing a distinctive texture for editorial typography without sacrificing composure.
In the text sample the spacing creates an even gray value, and the flared terminals help maintain clarity at larger sizes where the distinctive shaping becomes more apparent. The letterforms keep a consistent logic across cases, combining crisp edges with gently curved joins for a refined but personable texture.
