A sturdy serif with subtly flared stroke endings and wedge-like, bracketed serifs that feel slightly carved rather than strictly mechanical. Strokes are generally even and weighty, with small calligraphic inflections at terminals—noticeable in the curved joins and the tapered corners on letters like C, S, and G. Proportions are fairly compact with generous counters and a calm, readable rhythm; round letters are broad and smooth, while verticals stay firm and straight. The lowercase shows a traditional, bookish construction with a single-storey a and g, short-to-moderate ascenders/descenders, and softly shaped shoulders and bowls.
Performs best in editorial settings, book and magazine work, and brand identities that want a traditional, humanist presence. The strong silhouettes and distinctive terminal shaping also suit headlines, pull quotes, and poster typography where a classic but personable serif is needed.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, suggesting printed heritage—more “old library” than “modern tech.” Its flared terminals and carved-like serifs add warmth and personality, giving text a slightly storytelling, traditional voice without becoming ornate or frilly.
The design appears intended to blend conventional readability with an inscriptional, flared-serif character—providing a familiar serif texture while adding distinctive, carved-like terminals for a more memorable voice in display and editorial use.
Capitals have a dignified, inscriptional feel, with carefully shaped terminals and slightly emphasized horizontals. Numerals are bold and sturdy, with rounded forms and clear silhouettes that match the text weight well, making them suitable for headings and display copy where a traditional character is desired.
