This typeface is a sturdy serif with gently flared stroke endings and compact, wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than sharply bracketed. Strokes stay fairly even, with subtle modulation that adds a faint calligraphic lift without becoming delicate. The uppercase has broad, stable proportions and rounded bowls, while the lowercase shows a strong, readable rhythm with a two-storey “a” and “g,” open apertures, and slightly softened joins. Numerals are solid and straightforward, matching the text weight and maintaining consistent color in running copy.
It suits editorial typography—magazine features, essays, and book typography—where a strong serif voice and steady texture are desirable. It also performs well for headings, pull quotes, and institutional or product branding that needs a classic, trustworthy tone with a slightly handcrafted edge.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a warm, approachable seriousness. Its flared details add a hint of craft and heritage, giving it an editorial presence that feels confident without looking ornamental or fussy.
The design appears intended to provide a reliable, text-forward serif with a distinctive flared finish that adds personality while preserving clarity. It aims for an old-style, editorial feel—solid enough for continuous reading, yet characteristic enough to carry headlines and display settings.
In text, the face holds a dark, even typographic color and reads comfortably at larger paragraph sizes, where the flaring and softened terminals become part of the texture. The design balances sturdiness with refinement, leaning more toward authoritative readability than high-fashion contrast.
