A flared serif design with wedge-like terminals, gently bracketed joins, and a subtly calligraphic expansion where stems meet serifs. The capitals are broad and steady with classical proportions, while the lowercase shows an oldstyle rhythm with moderate ascenders and descenders and softly cupped bowls. Contrast is present but not extreme, with round letters staying smooth and open and diagonals ending in crisp, tapered points. Numerals share the same flared finishing and appear sturdy and text-friendly, keeping a consistent color across lines.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also performs confidently in headlines, academic or institutional materials, and brand systems that call for a classic, authoritative serif with subtle personality.
The font projects a traditional, bookish tone with a composed, trustworthy voice. Its flared endings add a touch of humanist warmth, making it feel less mechanical than a modern serif while still reading as formal and established.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with flared, calligraphy-informed terminals to add warmth and presence. It aims for dependable readability while delivering a distinctive, sculpted finish that stands out in display sizes without sacrificing text utility.
In text, the face maintains an even typographic color and a slightly sculpted texture from the widening stroke endings, which helps headings look stately without becoming overly decorative. The italic is not shown, and the sample focuses on roman forms that emphasize clarity and classical structure.
