A serifed text face with subtly flared stroke endings and gently tapered terminals that give the letterforms a calligraphic, chiseled finish. Proportions are moderately open with a steady rhythm and clear differentiation between round and straight forms; curves are smooth and controlled rather than geometric. Serifs are compact and shaped, often transitioning into stems with a slight flare instead of abrupt brackets. Numerals and lowercase share the same restrained, even color, with a single-storey “g” and a distinctly tailed “Q” contributing to a traditional, text-oriented feel.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a steady, refined texture is desired. It also works for cultural branding, museum or institution materials, and formal invitations where a traditional serif voice with a subtle handcrafted edge can add distinction.
The overall tone is classical and literary, conveying quiet authority without feeling overly ornate. The flared endings add warmth and a handcrafted nuance, suggesting tradition, seriousness, and editorial polish.
The design appears intended to bridge classical serif readability with a slightly calligraphic, flared-terminal character, offering a familiar text rhythm while adding a distinctive, crafted finish to stroke endings.
In running text, counters stay legible and the forms retain a consistent texture, while the distinctive terminals add personality at display sizes. Rounded letters (like O/C/G) read smoothly, and angled strokes (like V/W/Y) feel sharp yet controlled, reinforcing a composed, formal presence.
