This typeface presents a flared serif construction with moderate stroke contrast and a steady, upright stance. Stems subtly widen into tapered, bracketed endings, giving serifs a carved, calligraphic feel rather than crisp, hairline terminals. Curves are generously rounded with slightly tightened joins, and several letters show small wedge-like terminals and subtle notch/ink-trap-like cut-ins at interior corners. The overall rhythm is sturdy and even, with a traditional proportioning and a comfortable, text-ready color that remains confident at larger sizes.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine or newspaper-style settings where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and identity systems that want a refined, traditional presence with a slightly hand-influenced finish.
The tone is classical and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial and institutional character. Its flared endings and softened transitions add a human, crafted warmth that feels rooted in print tradition while staying crisp and composed.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with a subtly sculpted, flared-stem personality, offering a dignified text face that can also carry display roles without losing its print-classic credibility.
Uppercase forms read stately and stable, while the lowercase keeps a traditional, readable structure with clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals appear old-style in spirit, with varied silhouettes and lively curves that match the text face’s calligraphic flare.
