A compact serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and gently tapered strokes that give the outlines a subtly calligraphic feel. Stems remain generally even but broaden into the serifs, creating a rhythmic, slightly triangular footprint at stroke endings. Counters are moderately open and the curves are smooth, with a straightforward, upright posture and a steady baseline presence. The lowercase shows a traditional, readable texture with modest ascenders and descenders, while caps feel sturdy and slightly condensed with crisp, sculpted edges.
Well-suited for editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine headlines where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also fits branding and packaging that need a classic, crafted impression, and performs nicely in pull quotes or titling where the flared terminals can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a warm, crafted character rather than a cold, mechanical one. Its flared endings and quiet, old-style flavor evoke traditional print and editorial typography, lending a dependable, slightly historical voice to headlines and short text.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with a distinctive flared-terminal signature, offering a familiar structure with a slightly hand-shaped finish. It aims for a balanced, versatile voice that can feel literary and refined without becoming overly ornate.
Letterforms show consistent flare behavior across straight and curved strokes, helping maintain cohesion in mixed-case settings. Numerals appear sturdy and clear, matching the serif vocabulary and maintaining the same tapered finishing details for a unified typographic color.
