A serif typeface with subtly flared, wedge-like stroke endings and bracketed serifs that give stems a sculpted, hand-influenced finish. Curves are generous and slightly organic, with moderate stroke modulation and a lively rhythm in the joins and terminals. Proportions lean compact, with small lowercase counters and a relatively low lowercase height, while capitals remain prominent and sturdy. Overall spacing feels steady and readable, with small irregularities in detail that add texture rather than looking mechanically uniform.
Works well for editorial settings such as book typography, long-form articles, and magazine layouts where a classic serif texture is desirable. It can also support branding and packaging that aims for heritage, craft, or institution-like credibility, and it reads effectively in short headlines when set with comfortable tracking.
The tone is traditional and bookish, evoking printed matter and classical editorial typography. Its flared endings and gentle modulation add warmth and a slightly historical flavor without becoming overtly decorative. The overall impression is confident and formal, suited to contexts that benefit from a dignified, established voice.
Likely designed to blend traditional serif readability with a more expressive, flared-terminal finish, creating a familiar yet distinctive text color. The goal appears to be a dependable general-purpose serif that adds character through calligraphic detailing rather than extreme contrast or ornament.
Round letters show softly tapered entry and exit strokes, and several lowercase forms carry distinct, slightly calligraphic hooks that contribute to a textured color in text. Numerals appear robust and clear, matching the serifed, flared detailing of the letters.
