A sturdy serif with softly flared terminals and clearly bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanically sharp. Strokes are broadly even with gentle modulation, and many joins show subtle tapering that suggests a calligraphic influence. The proportions are traditional and readable, with rounded bowls (C, O) and confident verticals; the lowercase has compact, well-contained counters and a slightly oldstyle rhythm. Figures are weighty and clear, with rounded forms and stable baselines that match the text color of the letters.
This face suits editorial design, book work, and long-form reading where a firm, traditional serif texture is desired. It also performs well in display settings—chapter titles, pull quotes, and branding—when a refined, heritage-forward voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, combining an authoritative presence with a warm, humanist softness. Its flared endings and restrained detail evoke heritage printing and editorial typography rather than a sleek contemporary voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, highly legible serif with a historic, slightly calligraphic character, using flared terminals to add warmth and distinction without sacrificing clarity at text sizes.
Serif shapes tend toward wedge-like, flaring finishes, which adds texture in paragraphs and gives headings a subtly engraved feel. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman/upright.
