A sturdy serif with gently flared terminals and bracketed serifs that broaden out of the stems, producing a subtly sculpted, calligraphic stress without becoming high-contrast. The joins often show wedge-like shaping and slightly hollowed or pinched transitions that read as an ink-trap-like detail at text sizes. Counters are relatively open for a heavy design, with rounded bowls and a compact, even rhythm; curves and diagonals feel carefully moderated rather than sharp. Lowercase forms appear traditional and readable, with a two-storey “g” and softly tapered strokes, while numerals read as oldstyle, blending naturally into text.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and long-form reading where a strong serif texture is desirable. It also works effectively for headlines and branding that need a traditional, authoritative voice with a touch of hand-shaped character.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a confident, institutional presence. Its flared endings add warmth and craft, keeping the texture lively and slightly historic rather than strictly modern.
The design appears intended to combine robust text performance with a subtly crafted, flared-serif personality, creating a dependable reading face that still feels distinctive in display use.
Capitals have a stately, engraved-like solidity, while the lowercase maintains a calm, steady color in paragraphs. The ampersand and punctuation share the same tapered, serifed language, reinforcing a cohesive, editorial feel.
