This serif shows sturdy, broad proportions with gently flared stroke endings and compact, bracketed serifs that read as softened wedges. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, while straight strokes stay firm, giving the letters a calm, weighty rhythm without sharp contrast. Capitals feel substantial and slightly wide, with clean counters and restrained detailing; the lowercase maintains a steady texture, with a double‑storey “a” and a compact, readable “e.” Numerals are solid and old-style in spirit, with noticeable shaping and small finishing flares that match the letters.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and long-form reading, and publication design where a firm serif texture is desirable. It also performs convincingly for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding that benefits from a confident, traditional voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with an editorial authority that feels traditional rather than ornate. Its flared endings add a subtle handmade warmth, balancing seriousness with approachability.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional serif foundation with flared stroke endings and softened serifs, aiming for strong readability and a dignified, editorial presence across both display and text sizes.
In text, the face produces an even, dark color and strong word shapes, especially in mixed-case settings. The flared terminals and softened joins give it a slightly calligraphic undercurrent while keeping a disciplined, print-oriented structure.
