A serif typeface with gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that create a subtly calligraphic, oldstyle rhythm. Strokes show moderate modulation with softened transitions at joins and terminals, giving the outlines a slightly sculpted, ink-influenced look rather than a purely mechanical one. Proportions feel traditional with relatively small lowercase and compact extenders, while counters remain open and readable. The uppercase forms are steady and dignified, with rounded characters (C, G, O, Q) showing smooth bowls and the lowercase exhibiting classic text-face cues such as a two-storey a and g.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also fits literary or academic titling, pull quotes, and formal brand materials that benefit from a composed, print-classic voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking printed books, formal editorial typography, and traditional publishing. The flared endings add a humanist warmth that keeps it from feeling cold or overly rigid, while still reading as authoritative and composed.
The design appears intended as a readable, traditional serif for continuous text, combining familiar oldstyle structure with gentle flaring at stroke ends to add warmth and crafted character. Its overall consistency and restrained detail suggest a focus on dependable, page-first typography.
Numerals appear lining and fairly uniform in presence, with curved figures (3, 5, 6, 9) showing the same softened, flared finishing as the letters. The sample text suggests comfortable word shapes and even color at text sizes, with a slightly traditional, page-oriented texture.
