This serif typeface shows subtly flared stems that broaden into wedge-like, bracketed terminals, giving strokes a carved, calligraphic finish. Curves are full and slightly irregular in a humanist way, while counters stay fairly open for a dark, steady color at text sizes. The capitals feel robust and slightly wide in rhythm, with distinctive diagonal stress visible across rounded forms, and the numerals share the same flared, chiseled endings for consistency. Overall spacing reads even but lively, with small variations in letter widths adding a gently textured line.
It suits editorial typography where a traditional voice and strong texture are desirable, such as book interiors, magazines, and long-form reading at comfortable sizes. The pronounced flaring and crisp terminals also make it effective for headlines, display copy, and identity work where a classic, crafted feel is needed.
The tone is traditional and bookish, with a tactile, hand-informed presence that feels rooted in classic printing and sign-like lettering. It communicates seriousness without stiffness, leaning toward a warm, slightly rustic elegance rather than a polished corporate neutrality.
The design appears intended to blend old-style readability with more sculpted, flared stroke endings, creating a sturdy serif that feels hand-influenced and characterful. Its proportions and terminal treatment suggest an aim for distinctive texture and authority across both display and text use.
Pointed, wedge-shaped terminals and softly bracketed joins create a strong silhouette that holds up well in bold headlines while still reading comfortably in paragraph settings. The mix of sturdy verticals and expressive diagonals gives words a distinctive rhythm, especially in capitals and in letters with angled strokes.
