A serif typeface with subtly flared stems and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that give strokes a tapered, calligraphic finish. Proportions lean generous and open, with broad capitals, ample counters, and a steady, readable rhythm across lines. Contrast is moderate and consistent, with smooth transitions in curves and slightly sharpened terminals that keep the texture crisp without becoming brittle. Lowercase forms are traditional and bookish, and the figures read as oldstyle with varied heights that integrate naturally into running text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a stable, classic serif texture is desired. It also performs effectively for magazine headings, literary titles, and brand identities that benefit from a refined, traditional tone without heavy ornamentation.
The overall tone is editorial and classical, evoking traditional print typography with a composed, literary voice. Its flared endings add a touch of warmth and hand-influenced refinement, balancing authority with approachability.
The design appears intended to deliver comfortable readability and a familiar, authoritative serif voice, distinguished by flared stroke endings that add character and elegance. It aims to bridge traditional publishing conventions with a slightly more expressive, calligraphic finish for display moments.
In text settings, the font maintains a calm, even color while letting capitals and punctuation carry a dignified presence. The combination of tapered joins and sturdy serifs creates a distinctive silhouette that feels rooted in historical serif practice while remaining clean and contemporary in reproduction.
