A flared serif with gently widening stroke endings and subtle wedge-like terminals that give the letters a carved, calligraphic feel. The proportions run broad, with roomy bowls and open counters, and a steady, readable rhythm across both cases. Serifs appear lightly bracketed and integrated into the stems rather than sharply detached, while curves transition smoothly into straight segments. Numerals follow the same wide stance and soft, flaring finish, keeping the texture even in running text.
Well-suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where a traditional serif texture and comfortable readability are needed. The broad proportions and flared terminals also make it effective for titles, pull quotes, and branding applications that want a classic, cultivated presence.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, suggesting tradition and cultivated refinement without becoming overly ornate. Its wide stance and confident, sculpted terminals lend a dignified, institutional voice that still feels approachable in longer passages.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif conventions with a subtly calligraphic, flared finish, creating a dignified text face that can scale up gracefully for display use. Its wide, open construction prioritizes clarity and an even reading rhythm while preserving a distinctive, sculpted personality.
The lowercase shows a comfortable, familiar text structure with clear joins and generous internal space, supporting paragraph color that stays calm rather than dense. Round letters (like o/c/e) read airy and stable, and the italicization is not apparent, reinforcing a straightforward, upright editorial character.
