A serif typeface with subtly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that give stems a gently sculpted, calligraphic feel. Curves are smooth and open, with moderate proportions and steady rhythm; round letters like O and Q are full and calm, while diagonals in V/W/X stay crisp without becoming sharp. Uppercase forms read stately and balanced, and the lowercase shows traditional construction with a two-storey g, a compact earless look on several terminals, and a sturdy, readable set of figures.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine articles, where its steady rhythm and traditional detailing hold up across paragraphs. It also performs nicely for refined headlines, pull quotes, and brand language that benefits from a classic, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is classical and composed, with an editorial polish that suggests print tradition and careful typesetting. It feels literary and trustworthy rather than trendy, projecting calm authority and a slightly formal, cultured mood.
The design appears intended to bridge traditional serif readability with a subtly expressive, flared finish, offering a familiar bookish foundation with a touch of crafted character. It aims for versatility across text and display while maintaining a consistent, dignified tone.
The flaring toward terminals adds warmth and texture in text, preventing the color from feeling mechanical. Spacing appears even and comfortable in the sample paragraph, supporting continuous reading while still giving headings a dignified presence.
