A robust serif with flared, tapered stroke endings and bracketed serifs that soften the joins into the stems. Contrast is moderate, with thick verticals and slightly lighter connecting strokes that stay sturdy at text sizes. The lowercase shows rounded bowls and compact apertures, with a two-storey “g” and a single-storey “a,” giving the face a traditional text rhythm. Caps are strong and fairly wide, with crisp, slightly cupped terminals and an overall even color on the page.
Well suited to editorial typography such as books, long-form articles, and magazine text where a steady serif texture supports readability. The distinctive flared finishing also makes it a good option for literary branding, pull quotes, and section headings that need a traditional but characterful voice.
The tone is classic and bookish, combining a formal presence with a slightly warm, hand-influenced finish. Its flared endings and rounded joins add a touch of heritage character without feeling decorative or eccentric.
The design appears intended to blend dependable text performance with a subtly calligraphic, flared-serif signature. It aims for a familiar, traditional structure while using tapered terminals and gentle bracketing to keep the texture lively and human.
The numerals appear sturdy and oldstyle-leaning in feel, with curved figures and noticeable thick–thin shaping. Spacing and rhythm in the sample paragraph read comfortably dense, suggesting a design aimed at continuous reading while still carrying enough personality for headings.
