This typeface is a serif with subtly flared stroke endings and softly bracketed terminals that give the letterforms a chiseled, calligraphic feel. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions into the serifs, and the overall drawing stays crisp and controlled rather than ornate. Proportions are balanced with sturdy verticals, rounded bowls, and open counters that remain clear in text. The lowercase shows a traditional, bookish construction with a two-storey “g,” a compact, readable “e,” and a gently angled stress that keeps the rhythm lively without becoming dramatic.
It suits long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. The controlled contrast and open counters also make it effective for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand systems that want a classic, print-forward character.
The tone is classic and cultivated, evoking print tradition and literary publishing. It feels authoritative and composed, with a quiet elegance that reads as premium without looking flashy. The flared endings add a hint of humanist warmth, keeping the overall impression approachable within a formal register.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with subtly expressive flared terminals, creating a text-first face that still carries a distinctive, crafted signature. It prioritizes a stable reading rhythm while adding gentle calligraphic nuance at stroke endings for personality.
In the sample text, the letters maintain a steady texture with clear word shapes and confident punctuation. The numerals are old-style in spirit, with varied widths and distinctive forms that suit running text and editorial settings.
