A serif text face with gently flared stems and wedge-like terminals that give the strokes a broadened, inked finish rather than crisp bracketed serifs. Curves are full and slightly organic, with moderate stroke modulation and a steady, even rhythm in running text. Uppercase forms are sturdy and open, while the lowercase shows compact proportions and a comparatively short x-height, emphasizing ascenders and descenders. The overall drawing favors subtle tapering and soft transitions at joins, producing a refined, print-oriented texture.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif texture and comfortable rhythm are desired. It also works effectively for titles, pull quotes, and cultural or heritage-leaning branding that benefits from a traditional, flared-serif voice.
The tone is bookish and traditional, with a quiet authority that feels familiar in editorial contexts. Its flared endings and soft modulation add warmth and a lightly historical flavor, suggesting careful typesetting rather than stark modernity.
The design appears intended to bridge readable, old-style text proportions with a more expressive flared finishing, creating a distinctive yet restrained serif for literary and editorial use.
The numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, slightly calligraphic stress, helping paragraphs hold together with an even gray value. Terminals on characters like C, S, and J show pronounced tapering that contributes to the distinctive flared-serif character.
