A serif text face with gently flared stems and bracketed serifs that broaden into wedge-like endings. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions, and counters are open and calm, giving the letters a steady, readable rhythm. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, with classical proportions and crisp, slightly pointed terminals in places. The lowercase maintains a traditional book-seriffed structure with a compact, upright stance and clear differentiation across characters; numerals follow the same restrained, old-style-informed drawing in overall feel while remaining straightforward and legible.
It fits well in book and long-form editorial settings where a classical serif texture is desirable, and it also scales nicely for display use such as magazine headlines, museum materials, and premium branding. The clear, sturdy capitals support titling and pull quotes, while the lowercase rhythm is comfortable for continuous reading.
The font reads as traditional and composed, carrying a bookish, authoritative tone without feeling overly ornate. Its flared finishing and moderate contrast add a quiet sense of craft and gravitas suited to serious, polished communication.
The design appears aimed at delivering a timeless serif voice with a touch of flared, calligraphic finishing—balancing traditional readability with a subtly distinctive, crafted presence for both text and display typography.
In text, the type builds an even color with subtle calligraphic energy at joins and stroke endings, which helps headlines feel stately while keeping paragraphs controlled. The shapes avoid extreme quirks, prioritizing consistency and a familiar serif texture.
