This typeface is a serif with subtly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that create a gently sculpted, slightly calligraphic feel. Stems and diagonals show mild tapering rather than purely monoline construction, with rounded joins and open counters that keep forms clear in text. Proportions are balanced and moderately compact, with a conventional cap-to-lowercase relationship and a steady baseline rhythm. The lowercase includes two-storey a and g, and the figures appear oldstyle with noticeable ascenders and descenders, reinforcing a bookish texture.
It works well for book and magazine typography, especially for body text and pull quotes where a traditional serif texture is desired. The sturdy capitals and lively oldstyle numerals also suit headlines, subheads, and editorial titling that benefits from a classic, cultured presence.
The overall tone is classical and composed, evoking editorial and literary traditions without feeling overly ornamental. The flared terminals add warmth and a hand-touched softness, giving the font a dignified, approachable voice suitable for long-form reading.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif conventions with flared, gently tapered strokes to achieve a readable, text-oriented face that still carries a distinctive, hand-influenced character. It prioritizes steady rhythm and familiar forms while adding warmth through softened terminals and subtly shaped serifs.
In the sample text, the letterspacing and internal spacing produce an even, sturdy color with distinct word shapes. The capitals feel authoritative and stable, while the lowercase maintains a smooth flow; the combination reads confidently at larger text sizes and retains clarity in dense lines.
