This serif has lightly calligraphic construction with subtly tapered strokes and flared terminals that broaden into wedge-like, bracketed serif forms. The contrast is moderate, with a slightly lively stroke modulation that keeps counters open and readable. Proportions are on the narrow side with a compact footprint and a steady vertical posture; curves are round but not overly geometric, and joins often feel gently sculpted rather than purely mechanical. Uppercase shapes are firm and traditional, while lowercase retains a bookish rhythm with softly angled endings and crisp, clean interior spaces.
It suits book and long-form editorial settings where a traditional serif voice is desired, and it also performs well for headlines, chapter openers, and display sizes that can showcase the flared terminals. The distinctive wedge-like endings make it a strong candidate for branding and packaging that aims for heritage, craft, or literary cues.
Overall, the tone is classical and editorial, evoking traditional printing and literary typography rather than modern minimalism. The flared details add a crafted, slightly historic feel that reads as refined and serious, without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif letterforms with a flared, slightly calligraphic finish, balancing familiarity with a distinctive terminal treatment. It prioritizes a readable text rhythm while providing enough personality for titling and identity work.
In text, the face maintains a consistent dark color with clear word shapes, aided by the tapered stroke behavior and decisive terminals. Numerals and capitals match the same flared, chiseled logic, giving headings and pull quotes a cohesive, old-style character.
