A serif text face with gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that broaden into wedge-like terminals. Curves are generously drawn with open counters, while verticals stay steady and the modulation reads as moderate rather than high-contrast. The lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with clear ascenders/descenders and slightly tapered arms, and the italics are not present here—overall it maintains an upright, composed stance. Numerals and capitals feel sturdy and classical, with pointed apexes and subtly sculpted strokes that keep the texture lively in paragraphs.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. The sculpted terminals also work effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and brand typography that aims for heritage and credibility without becoming overly ornate.
The tone is bookish and traditional, balancing authority with a warm, humanist softness. Its flared details and controlled contrast suggest a refined, slightly old-world character suited to cultured, editorial settings rather than overtly modern minimalism.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic reading experience with added personality through flared stroke endings and subtly calligraphic shaping. It aims for dependable legibility while providing enough distinctive detailing to stand out in editorial and identity contexts.
In text, the face produces an even gray value with noticeable but not distracting stroke shaping at terminals, giving lines a gently chiseled, engraved feel. Round letters (like O, C, and e) remain smooth and open, while letters with diagonals and joins show crisp, confident transitions that help maintain clarity at display and text sizes.
