This typeface is a serif with subtly flared, wedge-like terminals and gently bracketed joins that give strokes a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Curves are full and smooth, with moderate modulation that stays even across the design, and counters are generously open in letters like C, O, and e. Capitals are sturdy and slightly wide-set, while the lowercase shows compact vertical proportions and relatively short extenders, producing a dense, steady rhythm in text. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and a traditional, text-friendly stance.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. The strong capitals and clear word shapes also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from a classic, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, with a sober, trustworthy presence. The flared terminals add a hint of craft and historical reference without feeling ornamental, giving the font a composed, editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with added warmth from flared terminals, balancing robustness with a slightly hand-informed finish. It aims for versatility across text and display sizes while maintaining a composed, literary character.
Round letters maintain a consistent, polished contour, and the serif treatment stays restrained—more tapered and flared than sharply chiseled. The lowercase a is double-storey and the g is single-storey, reinforcing a traditional reading texture, and the figures blend naturally into mixed-case settings.
