A sturdy serif with gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that soften transitions into stems. Strokes show moderate contrast, with thicker verticals and lighter horizontals, and terminals often taper into subtle wedges. Proportions are on the generous side with open counters, a normal x-height, and a calm, even rhythm that stays readable in paragraph settings. The italic is not shown; the displayed style is upright and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
It performs well for body text in books, long-form editorial, and print-heavy layouts where a steady, traditional serif texture is desired. The generous proportions and moderate contrast also make it suitable for subheads and headlines that need authority without excessive sharpness.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, with a traditional seriousness suited to editorial contexts. Its flared details add a faintly historical, crafted quality without becoming ornate, keeping the voice confident and composed.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable, readable serif with a subtle flared signature that nods to traditional forms while staying practical for continuous reading. Its emphasis is on clarity, stable rhythm, and a restrained sense of refinement rather than display-driven ornament.
Capitals are broad and stable, with strong horizontals and clearly articulated serifs; round letters maintain smooth curves without looking rigid. Lowercase forms lean toward conventional book faces, with clear differentiation between characters and a balanced, unflashy texture. Numerals appear lining and proportionally aligned with the capitals, supporting straightforward typographic hierarchy.
