A serif typeface with subtly flared stems and softly bracketed terminals that broaden into wedge-like endings. Strokes are low-contrast with a calm, even color, while curves are full and open, giving counters generous breathing room. Uppercase proportions feel broad and steady, with confident horizontals and rounded bowls; lowercase forms are sturdy with a moderate x-height and clear, traditional structures. Overall spacing and rhythm read as measured and composed, supporting both display sizes and continuous text without looking overly delicate.
Performs well in editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine work where a classic serif voice and comfortable readability are needed. It’s also effective for headlines, institutional branding, and formal printed materials that benefit from a stately but approachable tone.
The tone is classic and literary, with a composed, slightly ceremonial presence. The flared endings add warmth and a hint of hand-influenced shaping, keeping the feel human rather than strictly mechanical. It suggests established credibility—well suited to refined, traditional communication without becoming ornate.
Likely designed to blend traditional serif expectations with a more sculpted, flared stroke finish, producing a readable text face that can also carry authority in display use. The intention appears to be a versatile, classically grounded serif with a distinctive terminal treatment for added character.
The figures appear robust and legible, with rounded forms and stable verticals that match the text’s even color. The design’s defining character comes from the gentle flare and wedge terminals, which create a subtle forward energy in headlines while remaining restrained in paragraph settings.
