A serif text face with sculpted, slightly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that create a confident, carved rhythm. Strokes show noticeable modulation without feeling delicate, and curves are smoothly drawn with clean joins. The capitals are sturdy and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase maintains a measured texture with open counters and a clear baseline. Numerals appear sturdy and legible, matching the letterforms’ moderate contrast and crisp, tapering details.
Well suited for editorial typography such as magazine layouts, book typography, and long-form reading where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand applications that benefit from a traditional, authoritative tone with a crafted edge.
The overall tone feels traditional and editorial, with a composed, bookish voice that reads as established and trustworthy. The subtle flare at terminals adds a touch of crafted refinement, giving headings a dignified presence without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with subtly flared, sculptural terminals, producing a robust text-and-display workhorse. Its controlled contrast and crisp detailing aim for strong legibility while adding a distinctive, crafted signature to the page.
In running text the face maintains a steady color and clear word shapes; the flared terminals and bracket transitions add character at display sizes while remaining controlled at smaller sizes. Round letters keep a smooth, classical contour, and diagonals and serifs stay sharp enough to support bold headlines and titling.
