A serif text face with sculpted, subtly flared stroke endings and clearly bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions and a slightly calligraphic logic, giving verticals a gentle swelling and terminals that feel shaped rather than mechanical. Proportions lean broad with ample internal space; counters are open and bowls are full, supporting a steady horizontal rhythm. The overall drawing reads crisp and traditional, with sturdy capitals and compact, well-contained lowercase forms.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is desired, and it can also carry display roles such as headlines and chapter openers thanks to its sturdy capitals. The refined, flared detailing makes it appropriate for identity work, packaging, and formal materials where a classic tone is beneficial.
The tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and a bookish, traditional feel. Its shaped terminals and moderate contrast add a refined, slightly historic color without becoming ornate, balancing seriousness with warmth.
Likely designed to evoke a traditional serif pedigree while adding a distinctive, crafted finish through flared terminals and sculpted joins. The intention appears to be a dependable text-and-display companion that feels authoritative and timeless, with just enough stylistic nuance to stand apart in editorial and branding contexts.
In text, the face produces a dark, confident typographic color with clear word shapes. Numerals appear robust and readable, matching the serifed, slightly sculptural character of the letters.
