A serif typeface with broad proportions, sturdy verticals, and gently flared, bracketed stroke endings that give the serifs a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Curves are generous and steady, with low stroke modulation and smooth joins that keep the texture even in paragraphs. Capitals read structured and authoritative, while the lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies, including a two-storey “g” and a right-leaning, subtly angled terminal on “e.” Numerals are robust and lining in appearance, matching the capitals in height and color.
Well suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve confidently in headlines, title pages, and brand systems that need a traditional, crafted impression, especially where a slightly warm, humanist serif is preferable to a sharper transitional style.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, projecting credibility and measured confidence rather than sharp modernism. Its flared details add warmth and a faint handwritten heritage, creating an approachable, humanist formality suited to long-form reading and refined display.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif authority with subtle flared, calligraphic cues, delivering a dependable reading texture while retaining distinctive stroke endings for personality in display use.
In text, the face builds a dark, confident color with clear counters and stable rhythm. The flaring at stroke ends adds character without turning into high-contrast elegance, helping the design stay sturdy and legible at medium to large sizes.
