A serif typeface with subtly flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that give stems a tapered, calligraphic finish. The letterforms show moderate stroke contrast with smooth curves and sharp joins, producing a crisp, print-oriented texture. Uppercase proportions feel stately with generous curves (C, G, O) and a balanced, slightly narrow rhythm in straight-sided letters. Lowercase is readable and traditional, with a two-storey g, a compact ear on g, and a single-storey a; serifs remain restrained and consistent across the set. Numerals are lining and proportioned to sit comfortably with capitals, with clear shapes and modest detailing.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs well for titles, pull quotes, and refined brand identities that benefit from a traditional, crafted tone without heavy ornament.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, leaning toward bookish elegance rather than overt display. Flared terminals add a hint of crafted, inscriptional character, keeping the voice refined and slightly formal. In text, it conveys clarity and seriousness with a calm, authoritative presence.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif conventions with gentle flaring at terminals, creating a dignified reading face that still carries a subtle, distinctive signature. The goal seems to be a versatile, print-friendly serif with enough personality for editorial and identity use while maintaining conventional readability.
The Q features a distinctive sweeping tail that crosses into the bowl, adding character without disrupting readability. Diagonal letters (V, W, X, Y) are sharply drawn with clean vertexes, and spacing in the sample text suggests an even, measured color suitable for continuous reading.
