A serif typeface with softly flared, tapered stroke endings and gently bracketed serifs that give the letters a carved, calligraphic feel. Curves are generous and open, with moderate stroke modulation and rounded transitions that keep the rhythm smooth in text. Proportions read as traditional and bookish, with sturdy capitals, slightly varying character widths, and numerals that match the text color without looking rigid or mechanical.
Well suited for long-form reading such as books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also fits institutional communications and formal collateral that benefits from a credible, established voice, and can be used in invitations or programs when a refined, classic tone is needed.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a warm, humanist refinement rather than a stark, modern sharpness. It suggests tradition and credibility while staying approachable thanks to its soft flares and fluid curves.
Likely designed to evoke a traditional, oldstyle reading experience with added warmth and motion from flared terminals. The intent appears to balance comfortable text rhythm with a distinctive, gently calligraphic finish that remains appropriate for serious typography.
In the sample text, the face builds an even, dark text color and maintains clarity at large reading sizes. The flared terminals are noticeable across both roman and italic-like gestures in the shapes, adding personality without turning decorative.
