A sturdy serif with sculpted, slightly flared stroke endings and clearly bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanical. Strokes show moderate contrast with firm verticals and gently tapered joins, while the overall texture stays even and readable in continuous text. The lowercase has open, rounded counters (notably in a, e, and o), a two-storey g, and a compact, purposeful rhythm; terminals and serifs add a subtle calligraphic lift without becoming ornate. Capitals are broad and steady, with ample interior space and confident diagonals in forms like V and W.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, long-form articles, and book interiors where a stable, comfortable reading texture is important. The distinctive flared serif detailing also supports display applications—section heads, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks—where a classic, premium voice is desired.
The tone is traditional and editorial, projecting authority and composure with a warm, slightly humanist edge. Its flared finishing and measured contrast lend a bookish, established feel that reads as trustworthy rather than flashy.
Designed to deliver a classic serif reading experience with added personality through flared, calligraphic finishing. The intention appears to balance tradition and clarity—providing dependable text performance while offering enough sculpted detail to stand out in editorial and brand contexts.
Numerals appear robust and text-friendly, with clear differentiation and a consistent serif treatment. Overall spacing and counters support legibility, and the flared details add character that becomes more evident at larger sizes while remaining controlled in paragraphs.
