A serif typeface with bracketed, subtly flared stroke endings and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate contrast, with thickened verticals and tapered joins that create a sculpted, slightly lively rhythm. The capitals are stately and fairly wide, with crisp, shaped serifs; the lowercase keeps a steady x-height and features rounded bowls and tapered terminals that avoid a mechanical feel. Numerals follow the same logic, with clear, open forms and consistent stroke modulation.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural branding that benefits from a refined, traditional character.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a warm, humanist presence rather than a sharp, purely formal one. It reads as dependable and cultured, suitable for conveying authority without feeling cold or overly rigid.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif readability with a touch of calligraphic warmth, using flared, bracketed endings and moderate contrast to create an elegant but approachable texture in both display and text settings.
In text, the face maintains an even color while the flared terminals and bracketed serifs add a gentle sparkle at larger sizes. The design’s slight organic irregularity (from tapered strokes and soft transitions) helps headings feel expressive without sacrificing clarity.
