A serif typeface with flared, wedge-like terminals and bracketed serifs that give strokes a subtly sculpted, calligraphic finish. Curves are generous and open, with moderate stroke modulation and clear, stable horizontals. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly expansive, while the lowercase shows traditional book-ish construction with rounded bowls, a two-storey “g,” and compact, well-contained counters. Figures are oldstyle-leaning in rhythm with prominent curves and sturdy verticals, creating a cohesive text color across letters and numerals.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a traditional, high-trust voice is needed, including books, long-form articles, and magazine layouts. Its confident capitals and crisp serifs also work effectively for headlines, institutional branding, and formal communications where a classic serif texture is desirable.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a quiet sense of authority. The flared endings add a humanist warmth that reads as refined rather than ornamental, lending the font a composed, editorial voice.
The design appears aimed at delivering a traditional reading experience with a slightly calligraphic edge, using flared terminals and measured contrast to balance warmth and authority. It prioritizes a stable, classic rhythm that holds up in both continuous text and prominent display lines.
Serif detailing stays consistent across the set, with pointed, slightly triangular finishing on many strokes and clean joins that keep the texture crisp at display sizes. The sample text shows a strong, even paragraph color and a confident presence in headline settings.
