A serif typeface with subtly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that give the forms a gently calligraphic, chiseled finish. Strokes stay fairly even in weight with modest modulation, and the overall color is steady and readable in text. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and slightly wide in round letters, while lowercase shows open apertures and clear counters; the two-storey a and g, and the angled joins in letters like v/w, reinforce an oldstyle-influenced rhythm. Numerals are sturdy and text-oriented, matching the serif detailing and maintaining consistent alignment and spacing.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even texture and classic serif cues support comfort and credibility. It also performs well for magazine headlines, institutional branding, and premium packaging where the flared terminals provide a refined, crafted edge without becoming overly ornate.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone—measured, cultured, and dependable rather than decorative. The flared endings add a subtle warmth and craft that reads as established and bookish, with a quiet authority suitable for formal communication.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with understated flare at terminals to add character while keeping text performance intact. It aims for a timeless, print-friendly presence that can move between body text and larger typographic moments without changing personality.
Serif details are present but not sharp or spiky; they transition smoothly into stems, which helps maintain legibility at smaller sizes while still providing a distinctive finish at display sizes. Curves are round and generous, and diagonals (especially in K, V, W, X, and Y) feel firm and clean, contributing to a composed, traditional texture in paragraphs.
