A serif typeface with sculpted, flared terminals and bracketed serifs that create a subtly calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with confident verticals and smoothly tapered joins, giving letters a chiseled, slightly wedge-like finish rather than blunt endings. Proportions feel balanced and traditional, with open counters in rounded letters and steady spacing that keeps text blocks even. The lowercase has a straightforward, readable build with a two-storey a and g and teardrop-like i/j dots; figures are sturdy and aligned to sit comfortably alongside text.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine layouts, and book typography where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve in branding and packaging for institutions or products that benefit from a crafted, heritage-leaning impression, and works effectively in posters or pull quotes where its sculpted terminals can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a poised, bookish authority. Its flared details add a crafted, slightly historic flavor that reads as refined rather than ornamental, making it feel trustworthy and established.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif conventions with flared, carved-looking stroke endings to add character without sacrificing readability. It aims for a dependable text-and-display versatility, delivering a familiar literary tone with a distinctive, shaped finish.
In the sample text, the face holds up well at larger sizes where the flared endings and bracketing become a defining texture. Uppercase shapes feel stately and composed, while the lowercase maintains a calm, readable cadence suitable for continuous reading.
