This typeface is a serif design with subtly flared, bracketed terminals that broaden as strokes meet the serif, giving the outlines a gently calligraphic, carved quality. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation with crisp, clean joins and smooth curves, producing a steady, bookish rhythm. Proportions are compact and column-friendly, with relatively narrow letterforms and tight interior apertures in places, while capitals remain stately and well balanced. The lowercase shows traditional details such as a double-story “a” and a compact, slightly angled “e,” with numerals that follow the same tapered, serifed construction for a cohesive texture in mixed settings.
It works especially well for book interiors, essays, and magazine typography where a classic serif texture is desired. The composed capitals and refined serifs also make it a strong choice for titles, pull quotes, and heritage-leaning identity work such as cultural institutions, publishers, and formal invitations.
The overall tone is refined and traditional, with an old-style editorial feel that reads as composed and authoritative rather than flashy. Its flared endings add a quiet warmth and craftsmanship, lending a literary, institutional voice suited to long-form reading and classic branding.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with a distinctive flared-terminal signature, offering a recognizable voice without sacrificing text-setting discipline. Its restrained contrast and consistent serif logic suggest a focus on dependable paragraph performance with enough character for headings.
Serifs and terminals stay consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, helping paragraphs form an even typographic color. The design’s tapering and flared endings become more apparent at display sizes, while at text sizes they consolidate into a smooth, disciplined texture.
