A serif typeface with sturdy, slightly wide proportions and moderate contrast between thick and thin strokes. Stems finish in subtly flared, bracketed serif-like endings that give the letterforms a carved, chiseled feel without becoming sharp or spiky. Curves are round and controlled, joins are smooth, and counters stay fairly open, creating a steady, even texture in paragraphs. Numerals and capitals carry a traditional, stable structure, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation and consistent rhythm.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial settings where a traditional serif voice is desired, and it also scales effectively for headlines and subheads that need presence without excessive ornament. The flared detailing can support branding, packaging, and identity work that aims for heritage, credibility, or an artisanal edge.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, with a confident, established voice. Its flared terminals add a touch of warmth and craft, keeping it from feeling overly mechanical while still reading as formal and trustworthy.
Likely intended to blend classical serif conventions with subtly flared stroke endings, producing a familiar, literary texture that remains distinctive in display sizes. The design balances firmness and refinement so it can work as an everyday editorial serif while offering a slightly more crafted, engraved character.
In text, the face builds a dark, solid color with clear word shapes and a composed cadence. The terminals and serifs contribute to strong horizontal cues, helping the lines feel anchored and orderly.
