A high-contrast serif with tapered, flared stroke endings and firmly bracketed serifs. Curves are generous and round, while joins and terminals show a subtle calligraphic influence that gives the outlines a slightly hand-shaped rhythm rather than a rigid, geometric build. The lowercase is compact and text-ready, with crisp counters and a lively mix of straight stems and swelling curves; the italic is not shown, and the overall stance remains upright. Numerals and capitals feel traditional and sturdy, with clear modulation and moderate, classical proportions.
Well-suited for editorial typography, long-form reading, and book or magazine settings where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for chapter titles, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from classic, crafted letterforms and high-contrast detail.
The font conveys a traditional, bookish tone—confident and authoritative without feeling cold. Its flared modulation and sharp finishing details add a sense of craft and heritage, creating a refined, slightly dramatic color on the page.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional, calligraphy-informed serif in a clean, contemporary drawing—balancing readability with expressive contrast and flared finishing. It aims to provide a classic typographic voice that feels premium and composed in both display and text contexts.
In the sample text, the contrast and tapering are especially visible at larger sizes, where the stroke modulation and flared endings become part of the texture. The shapes stay clean and readable, with distinctive, classic letterforms (notably in the rounded bowls and the serifed lowercase) that help it stand apart from more neutral text serifs.
