A serif typeface with gently flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that create a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Strokes show subtle modulation with a mild diagonal stress, producing rounded joins and smooth transitions rather than sharp, mechanical corners. Capitals are broad and steady with confident verticals and slightly tapered arms, while lowercase forms are compact and readable with a two-storey “a” and “g,” a modest, sturdy “e,” and round counters that stay open at text sizes. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), with varying heights and extenders that blend naturally into running text.
Well suited to editorial typography such as books, long-form articles, and magazine text where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also performs nicely in headings and deck lines, especially for cultural, academic, or heritage-leaning branding that benefits from a dignified but approachable voice.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a calm authority suited to serious reading and refined presentation. The flared endings and soft shaping add warmth and a humanist touch, keeping the texture inviting rather than austere.
Likely designed to offer a readable, classical serif with a distinctive flared finish—combining traditional proportions with subtly calligraphic detailing to create a familiar, dependable text color and a refined presence in display sizes.
The face maintains an even color in paragraphs, and the flaring/serif treatment gives strokes a subtle chiseled finish that reads well in larger sizes without becoming fussy. Curves and terminals are consistently rounded, helping punctuation and mixed-case settings feel cohesive.
