This is a serif typeface with distinctly flared, wedge-like terminals and gently bracketed joins that give the strokes a subtly calligraphic flow. Strokes show moderate contrast and a steady, text-oriented rhythm, with rounded bowls and softly tapered ends rather than abrupt cuts. The uppercase presents sturdy, slightly sculpted forms (notably in letters like A, M, and W), while the lowercase features a double-storey a and g and a compact, readable texture. Numerals are lining and sturdy, matching the serifed, tapered construction of the letters.
It suits book and magazine typography, extended reading, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs well for literary or institutional branding, cover titling, and headings that benefit from a traditional, dignified presence without excessive contrast.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a quiet refinement that suggests editorial seriousness rather than high-fashion sharpness. The flared endings add warmth and a faintly historic, inscriptional character, keeping the voice authoritative but approachable.
The design appears intended to bridge text usability with a more characterful, flared-serif finish, providing a classical reading rhythm while adding sculpted terminals for distinctive identity in display sizes.
Curves are smooth and full, and terminals often resolve into pointed or wedge-like endings that reinforce the flared theme across both cases. The shapes favor clarity and stability, with consistent serif treatment and a cohesive, slightly softened silhouette in continuous text.
