A flared serif with sculpted, slightly calligraphic strokes and noticeable stroke modulation. Stems broaden into tapered terminals and bracketed serifs, giving the outlines a carved, inked feel rather than a purely mechanical one. Capitals are proportionally balanced with open counters and crisp joins; curves are smooth and somewhat generous, while diagonals and apexes stay sharp. Lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with clear ascenders/descenders, a double-storey “g,” and compact, well-contained bowls; figures align comfortably with the text color and maintain the same flared finishing.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly in display sizes for headlines, title pages, and brand identities that benefit from a refined, traditional voice.
The overall tone is bookish and composed, suggesting tradition and craftsmanship. The flared stroke endings add warmth and a subtle humanist nuance, keeping it from feeling overly austere while still reading as formal and established.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with flared, subtly calligraphic stroke endings to create a familiar text face with added warmth and distinctive finishing. Its consistent modulation and controlled details suggest an aim for readability in continuous text while retaining enough character for prominent typographic moments.
In text, the face holds an even, moderately dark color with distinct letterforms that remain clear at paragraph scale. The italic is not shown; the roman’s terminals and serifs provide most of the character, producing a slightly old-style, engraved impression without heavy ornament.
