A crisp serif with sculpted, slightly flared terminals and clearly bracketed serifs that give strokes a carved, calligraphic finish. Proportions are traditional with a steady vertical stress, rounded bowls, and a rhythm that feels evenly paced in text. The lowercase shows a compact, bookish build with a two-storey a and g, moderate apertures, and a sturdy, understated presence. Numerals are lining-style and consistent in color, with smooth curves and firm verticals that read cleanly at display sizes.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely for headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand identities that need a classic, print-forward character without heavy ornamentation.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking book typography and formal print. It feels trustworthy and slightly ceremonial, with enough sharpness to sound confident without becoming ornate. The flared finishing adds a subtle historic, engraved character that reads as premium and editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, traditional serif reading experience, enhanced by subtly flared terminals for a more crafted, historical feel. It aims to bridge text usability with a display-ready elegance for publishing and identity work.
Details like the strong, rounded capitals, the balanced spacing, and the restrained contrast help it stay stable in paragraphs while still looking polished in larger settings. Curved letters (C, O, S) maintain smooth continuity, while verticals (H, N, I) keep the texture grounded.
