A serif typeface with subtly flared stems and bracketed serifs that give the letterforms a gently sculpted, calligraphic feel. Strokes show clear modulation without becoming delicate, balancing sturdy verticals with tapered joins and softly swelling terminals. Proportions are moderately wide with open counters and a steady, readable rhythm; the lowercase is compact and tidy with rounded shoulders, a two-storey a, and a traditional g. Numerals and capitals carry the same flared, chiseled finishing, producing a cohesive, print-oriented texture in text sizes.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and essays, as well as magazine and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. The distinctive flared finishing also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and brand identities that want a classic, crafted tone.
The overall tone feels classic and bookish, with a warm, humanist undercurrent rather than a strictly mechanical or austere voice. The flared endings add a crafted, slightly historical character that reads as refined but approachable.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with subtly expressive, flared stroke endings, creating a typeface that feels familiar in text while offering extra character in display sizes.
In paragraph settings the face builds an even gray with small moments of emphasis at terminals and serifs, which helps headings feel distinctive without looking ornamental. The design’s gentle stroke shaping and open forms keep it legible while still conveying personality.
