This typeface is a serif design with gently flared stroke endings and subtly bracketed serifs that soften joins into the stems. The contrast is moderate, with round letters showing smooth transitions and a slightly calligraphic modulation rather than rigid geometric construction. Proportions feel traditional and text-oriented: capitals are balanced and open, lowercase counters are generous, and curves (notably in C, G, S, and e) are drawn with a steady, even rhythm. The numerals appear oldstyle (text) in character, with varying heights and some descending forms, supporting a more bookish texture in running text.
It fits comfortably in book typography, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture and strong readability are desired. The distinctive flared finishing also makes it suitable for refined branding, cultural institutions, and headline/subhead pairings that need a classical voice without feeling overly ornate.
Overall tone is classical and cultivated, leaning toward literary and editorial use rather than stark modernism. The flared endings and gentle modulation add warmth and authority, producing a confident but approachable voice well suited to longer reading.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif proportions with a softer, flared finishing to create a readable, text-friendly face that still carries a noticeable signature in display sizes.
In text settings the face maintains a consistent color with clear word shapes and stable spacing, while the flaring at terminals gives lines a subtle forward motion. Distinctive details like the Q tail and the curved foot on J add personality without becoming decorative.
