A serif typeface with gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that broaden out of the stems, giving the letters a subtly calligraphic, carved feel. Curves are smooth and well-controlled, with moderately open counters and a steady, readable rhythm. The capitals look stately and balanced, while the lowercase shows traditional book-face proportions with a clear two-storey “g,” a sturdy “a,” and a compact, slightly tapered “t.” Numerals follow the same formal construction, with clear, high-contrast shapes and crisp terminals.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desirable. It also performs nicely for section heads, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from a classic, authoritative presence with a hint of warmth.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, suggesting tradition and credibility without feeling overly ornate. The flared endings add warmth and a handcrafted undertone, making the voice feel cultured and slightly ceremonial rather than strictly mechanical.
Designed to deliver a familiar, literary serif voice while differentiating itself through flared terminals and bracketed finishing that adds craft and personality. The intention appears to balance readability and tradition with a distinctive, gently sculpted stroke character.
Stroke modulation and flare are used as a unifying motif across straight and curved forms, creating a consistent sense of finishing at terminals. The silhouette reads cleanly at text sizes, while the distinctive flare and serif shaping become more apparent as display size increases.
