A serif typeface with sculpted, flared stroke endings and gently bracketed serifs that create a carved, calligraphic impression. Stems show moderate contrast with smooth transitions into terminals, and curves are round and open, keeping counters clear at text sizes. Proportions are balanced with a conventional x-height, while capitals feel stately and slightly narrow in stance, producing an even, bookish rhythm across lines. Numerals and lowercase share the same restrained, polished detailing, with soft, tapered joins rather than abrupt cuts.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books and editorial layouts, where its steady rhythm and clear counters support comfortable text. The sculpted flares and refined capitals also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, and branding that needs a classic, cultivated voice.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a literary, editorial seriousness. Its flared details add a subtle warmth and craft quality, giving text an elegant, authoritative presence without becoming ornate.
Designed to provide a traditional serif reading experience with an added sense of crafted structure through flared stroke endings. The intent appears to balance formality and warmth, offering a distinctive texture for editorial typography while remaining disciplined and legible.
The letterforms maintain consistent modulation and controlled spacing, so paragraphs set with a steady texture and clear word shapes. Terminals often finish in a slight wedge or flare, lending gentle emphasis at the ends of strokes and improving definition in display sizes as well.
