A serif text face with sculpted, flared terminals and bracketed serifs that give strokes a gently molded feel rather than sharp mechanical endings. Proportions are balanced with a traditional vertical stress, moderate contrast, and steady rhythm across the alphabet. Capitals are stately and slightly wide in presence, while lowercase forms show clear, open counters and a conventional two-storey structure where expected, supporting continuous reading. Numerals are sturdy and evenly aligned, matching the letterforms with the same flared finishing and controlled contrast.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif texture is desired, and it also performs strongly for headlines that benefit from a composed, authoritative look. The flared finishing can add character to branding, certificates, and formal invitations while remaining restrained and legible.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, leaning toward a refined, institutional voice rather than playful or decorative. Its flared details add a subtle warmth and craft, suggesting a literary, heritage-forward mood suited to serious content.
The design appears intended to bridge classic serif readability with a subtly expressive, flared finish, providing a distinguished text voice that still carries recognizable personality. It aims for dependable typographic color and clear forms, with just enough sculpting to stand apart in display use.
Large sizes reveal the distinctive flare at stroke ends and the smooth bracketing into serifs, which can read as gently calligraphic without becoming ornate. In text settings, the face maintains a calm texture and consistent spacing, creating a dark, confident page color.
