A serif face with gently flared stems and bracketed serifs that broaden into wedge-like endings. Strokes stay relatively even while showing a subtle, traditional stress, and curves are smooth with slightly tapered joins. Proportions are moderately wide with a steady rhythm, and the letters keep a calm, upright stance. Details such as the shaped serifs and lightly tapered terminals give the outlines a hand-informed, classical texture without becoming ornate.
Well suited to editorial design, book typography, and long-form reading where a classic serif texture is desirable. It also performs effectively for headlines, institutional or heritage branding, and formal materials such as programs, invitations, and certificates.
The overall tone is literary and traditional, suggesting heritage and authority with a softer, approachable edge. It feels composed and editorial, suited to contexts where clarity and credibility matter while still conveying warmth.
The design appears intended to merge a traditional serif foundation with subtly flared, calligraphic endings to add warmth and character while preserving straightforward readability. It aims for a dependable text face that can also carry a refined presence in larger settings.
Uppercase forms read stately and balanced, while the lowercase maintains a stable color with clear counters and conservative shapes. Numerals follow the same serifed, tapered logic, keeping a consistent typographic voice across text and display sizes.
