A serif text face with gently flared, wedge-like stroke endings and compact bracketed serifs that give the forms a subtly calligraphic finish. The overall construction is sturdy and readable, with open counters, moderate curves, and a steady rhythm in continuous text. Capitals are proportioned for headline use without feeling overly wide, while the lowercase keeps a familiar book-face structure, including a two-storey a and g and a lightly angled, tapered e cross-stroke. Numerals appear oldstyle with noticeable ascenders/descenders, matching the text-oriented color of the lowercase.
Well-suited to long-form text in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for magazine headlines, section titles, and branding systems that need a classic voice with a slightly handcrafted edge.
The tone is classic and composed, evoking print editorial typography and traditional publishing. The flared terminals add a warm, humanist note that keeps the texture from feeling overly mechanical, lending a quietly historic and literary character.
Likely designed as a versatile reading serif that nods to historical, pen-influenced construction while staying restrained enough for contemporary editorial use. The flared terminals and oldstyle numerals suggest an emphasis on text typography and a cohesive, literary page color.
Details like the curved, descending Q tail, the crisp beaks on letters such as f and r, and the subtly tapered joins on diagonals (e.g., V/W/Y) reinforce the carved/pen-influenced feel. Spacing in the sample paragraph reads even and bookish, producing a dark but stable text color suitable for extended reading.
