A serif typeface with gently flared stroke endings and tapered terminals that give the forms a subtly calligraphic build. Serifs are small-to-moderate and feel more sculpted than blocky, with smooth bracketing into stems and a clean, low-contrast stroke modulation. Proportions read on the broader side, with open counters and a steady, even rhythm in text. The lowercase shows compact, sturdy shapes with clear apertures, while the numerals are robust and evenly weighted, maintaining the same flared finishing details for consistency.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a classic serif tone is desired, including magazines, long-form articles, and book interiors with a polished feel. It also works effectively for display settings—headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural branding—where the flared finishing can add character without sacrificing clarity.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, combining a bookish, literary presence with a slightly contemporary crispness. Its flared details add warmth and a crafted feel without becoming ornamental, producing an authoritative but approachable voice.
The design appears intended to bridge traditional serif readability with a more sculpted, flared finish, offering a refined text-and-display workhorse that feels crafted rather than purely mechanical. Its broad proportions and restrained contrast suggest an emphasis on steady texture and legibility while preserving a distinctive, lightly calligraphic signature.
Pointed joins and angled terminals appear in letters like v, w, x, y, and k, adding a subtle sharpness that contrasts with the rounder bowls in o, e, and c. The uppercase has a dignified, inscription-like stance, and the sample text shows stable color and spacing that stays readable at larger paragraph sizes.
