A serif typeface with gently flared stroke endings that read like wedge serifs, giving the letterforms a subtly calligraphic, chiseled finish. Strokes are largely even, with smooth modulation and rounded transitions at joins, producing a steady rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Proportions feel balanced and readable, with open bowls and counters, sturdy verticals, and tapered terminals that add a touch of liveliness without becoming decorative. Numerals follow the same restrained, slightly tapered construction for a cohesive texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a comfortable reading texture is important. It can also serve effectively in headings and refined brand identities that need a classic voice with a subtle crafted edge.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a calm authority typical of editorial typography. The flared endings introduce warmth and a humanist feel, softening the formality and lending an understated elegance.
The letterforms appear intended to bridge traditional serif readability with a lightly hand-influenced finish, using flared terminals to add character while keeping the overall color controlled for text settings.
The design maintains consistent spacing and color in paragraphs, avoiding sharp, high-contrast sparkle while still providing crisp serif cues. Uppercase forms appear stately and stable, while the lowercase carries a slightly more fluid, readable cadence suitable for continuous reading.
