A serif typeface with sculpted, flared stroke endings and small bracketed serifs that read as tapered rather than slab-like. The forms are relatively open with broad capitals and generous internal counters (notably in C, O, and G), and a steady, even rhythm in text. Curves are smooth and round, while terminals on letters like a, c, e, and s show subtle flare and shaping that keeps the texture lively without sharp contrast. Numerals are clear and sturdy, with softly modeled curves and traditional proportions.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and institutional or cultural materials where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs well for headlines and display settings, where the flared detailing and broad proportions give words presence without looking ornate.
The overall tone is classic and composed, suggesting editorial seriousness with a touch of contemporary polish. Its flared details add a crafted, slightly calligraphic warmth that prevents the page from feeling mechanical, while still maintaining a formal, authoritative voice.
The design appears intended to combine classical serif conventions with subtly flared, sculptural finishing to improve presence and readability. It aims for a dependable text texture and clear letterforms while adding distinctive terminal shaping for a more crafted, premium feel.
In the sample text, the spacing and letterfit produce a stable, readable line, and the rounded joins and flared terminals contribute to a slightly dark, confident color at display sizes. Uppercase punctuation and numerals match the same restrained, traditional styling, supporting cohesive long-form composition.
