This typeface is a serif with gently flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs, giving verticals a slightly tapered, sculpted feel. Curves are smooth and round, with moderate modulation between thick and thin strokes and a steady, even rhythm across text. Uppercase proportions are traditional and balanced, while the lowercase shows open apertures and clear counters; the two-storey forms (notably in a and g) reinforce a conventional text face structure. Numerals read as oldstyle figures, with varied heights and subtle baseline interplay that matches the lowercase color.
It performs well in extended reading contexts such as book pages, essays, and editorial layouts where a steady rhythm and comfortable serif presence are important. The distinctive flared finishing also makes it suitable for headlines, pull quotes, and brand applications that want a classic serif with a slightly crafted edge.
The overall tone is bookish and composed, combining classical gravity with a mild calligraphic warmth. It feels authoritative without being sharp, leaning toward a refined, familiar voice suited to reading and institutional communication.
The design appears intended as a readable, traditional serif text face differentiated by subtle flaring and softened transitions, aiming for a classic page tone with a touch of bespoke character.
In the sample text, the face maintains consistent texture and spacing, producing an even typographic color at paragraph sizes. The flared terminals add a distinctive finish in larger settings, especially on strong verticals and diagonals, while still keeping letterforms conventional and legible.
