This typeface is a serif with subtly flared, tapered stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that create a carved, calligraphic feel. Strokes show moderate modulation, with rounded joins and gently swelling terminals rather than abrupt cuts. The proportions lean expansive, with broad capitals and generous bowls; counters are open and the curves are smooth and even. Lowercase forms keep a relatively small x-height with clear ascenders, and the overall rhythm reads steady and text-friendly while still retaining distinctive, slightly sculpted details in letters like G, Q, R, and the diagonals.
It suits editorial typography, book interiors, and literary or academic material where a traditional serif texture is desired. The distinctive flaring also makes it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and posters that need a classic voice with a bit of sculpted character.
The overall tone is classical and literary, suggesting printed tradition and a measured, authoritative voice. The flared terminals add a subtle handmade warmth, keeping the design from feeling purely mechanical while maintaining a composed, formal presence.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with a flared, calligraphy-informed finishing that adds personality and a subtly monumental presence. It aims for a timeless, print-oriented texture that can move comfortably between extended reading and dignified display.
In the sample text, the face holds together well at display sizes, where the widening strokes and bracketed endings become more apparent and lend a refined texture. Numerals and capitals appear especially poised for titling and emphasis, with a consistent, gently tapered finish across the set.
