This serif shows sculpted, slightly tapered strokes with wedge-like serifs and subtly flared terminals that broaden as they meet the baseline and cap line. The drawing feels smooth and deliberate, with rounded joins and gentle modulation rather than sharp contrast, producing a steady text color. Capitals are wide and confident with crisp, bracketed-feeling details, while the lowercase is readable and traditional, with compact apertures and sturdy bowls. Numerals match the serifed, slightly flared construction, keeping the same calm rhythm and consistent vertical emphasis.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly in headlines and subheads, and can lend a refined, established character to branding, certificates, and formal print materials.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a measured authority that reads as established and trustworthy. Its flared endings add a touch of warmth and craft, giving the face a dignified, slightly ceremonial presence without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif conventions with gently flared stroke endings, creating a readable, familiar voice that still feels subtly distinctive. It prioritizes steady rhythm and sturdy letterforms, aiming for dependable performance in text while offering a crafted, formal finish in display use.
In larger sizes the wedge serifs and expanding terminals become a defining texture, creating a subtle engraved or stone-cut impression. The spacing and proportions support a stable line, and the punctuation and figures maintain the same composed, classical voice as the letters.
