A serif typeface with subtly flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that give the letters a gently sculpted, chiseled feel. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth, rounded joins and tapered terminals rather than blunt cuts. Proportions are traditional and steady, with open counters and slightly organic curves that keep the texture lively in text. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and a flowing rhythm consistent with the letterforms.
Well suited for book and long-form reading, editorial layouts, and literary or cultural materials where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also support branding, packaging, and display settings that benefit from a crafted, heritage-leaning character, especially when set at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a warm, human touch that suggests traditional printing and hand-influenced drawing. It feels trustworthy and familiar rather than sharp or modern, leaning toward a heritage and editorial mood.
Likely designed to blend comfortable text readability with a recognizable flared-serif signature, offering a classical foundation with a subtle hand-made nuance. The goal appears to be an approachable, traditional serif that maintains a lively texture and distinctive terminals in both text and titling.
Caps have a calm, stately presence, while the lowercase introduces more movement through curved shoulders and tapered endings, creating a readable, textured paragraph color. The design’s flare at stroke ends is visible across both letters and figures, contributing to a distinctive, crafted silhouette at larger sizes without becoming decorative.
