This serif shows subtly sculpted, flaring stroke endings that read like wedge/bracketed serifs rather than slabs. Strokes maintain a steady rhythm with modest contrast, and the curves are full and slightly squarish in places, giving counters a robust, ink-trap-free presence. Terminals often taper or flare gently, producing a chiseled, calligraphic finish on letters like C, S, and a. The overall texture is even and dark, with confident verticals and rounded joins that keep paragraph set solid and stable.
It works well for editorial typography—magazines, essays, and book layouts—where a strong, even text color and classical serif voice are desired. The weight and presence also suit headlines, pull quotes, and brand marks that want a refined, literary feel without high-contrast delicacy.
The tone is traditional and bookish, balancing authority with a slightly human, hand-shaped warmth. Its flared endings and sculpted curves add a touch of historic or classical character without feeling ornate, making it feel serious, cultivated, and editorial.
The design appears intended to merge a traditional serif foundation with subtly flared, carved stroke endings to create a distinctive, readable texture. It prioritizes steady rhythm and a confident page presence, aiming for a classic voice that still feels slightly hand-shaped and contemporary in finish.
Capital forms feel stately and compact, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation and sturdy bowls, helping the font hold up in continuous text. Numerals match the text color well, with rounded figures (notably 8 and 9) that echo the letterform softness and keep the overall rhythm consistent.
