A serif typeface with bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give the letterforms a sculpted, slightly calligraphic feel. Strokes show moderate contrast with softened transitions, producing a steady text rhythm rather than a sharp Didone snap. Proportions lean traditional, with generously sized capitals, compact joins, and rounded bowls; terminals on letters like a, c, e, and s show gentle swelling that reads as flaring rather than blunt cuts. Overall spacing appears even and comfortable in text, with a cohesive, slightly organic modulation across the alphabet and numerals.
It suits long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts, where its steady rhythm and moderated contrast hold up well. The sculpted serifs and flared terminals also make it effective for magazine headlines, institutional branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic, crafted serif presence.
The tone is classic and literary, with an editorial polish that feels familiar and trustworthy. The flared detailing adds warmth and craft, lending a refined, slightly historic voice without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to balance traditional serif readability with a more carved, flared finish that adds personality and warmth. It aims for a dependable text texture while providing enough stylistic signature to work in display sizes and brand-forward typography.
The lowercase shows a traditional, text-oriented construction (notably the two-storey a and g) and maintains clear differentiation between similar shapes in mixed-case settings. Numerals are sturdy and legible, matching the serifed, moderately contrasted texture of the letters.
