A serif typeface with subtly flared stroke endings and small, softly bracketed serifs that give the letterforms a carved, inked feel. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions into terminals, and the curves are generously rounded, especially in C, G, O, and the bowl shapes. Proportions lean broad with open counters and calm spacing, producing a steady text rhythm in the sample paragraph. The lowercase has a conventional, readable structure with a two-storey a, compact shoulder forms, and sturdy verticals; figures are solid and open, with a clear, traditional lining style impression.
Well suited to book interiors and long-form editorial typography where steady rhythm and comfortable readability are needed. It also works effectively for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding that benefits from a traditional serif voice with a slightly crafted edge.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, with a confident, institutional polish suited to established publishing aesthetics. The flared endings add a touch of warmth and craftsmanship, keeping it from feeling overly rigid or mechanical. In longer text it reads as composed and authoritative, evoking book typography and formal editorial settings.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif readability with a subtle display of craftsmanship through flared endings and softened brackets. It aims for dependable, publishable text color while retaining enough character to stand out in headlines and branded editorial applications.
Capitals are strong and even, with restrained detailing and consistent serif treatment across straight and curved strokes. The typography maintains a balanced, familiar silhouette—traditional enough for continuous reading, yet distinctive due to the subtle flare and soft terminal shaping.
