A serif typeface with subtly flared, bracketed terminals and a softly calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderated contrast with thick, confident verticals and tapered joins, giving counters an open, rounded feel. Serifs are not blunt; they transition with noticeable bracketing and gentle swelling at stroke ends, especially on capitals and numerals. Proportions lean slightly traditional, with sturdy capitals, compact ascenders/descenders, and a readable, even rhythm across text.
It performs well in long-form reading contexts such as books and editorial layouts, where its traditional proportions and moderated contrast maintain a stable text color. The flared terminals also give it enough personality for chapter openers, pull quotes, cultural branding, and poster headlines where a classic, crafted serif is desired.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, with an authoritative but warm presence. Its flared finishing and smooth modulation add a crafted, historical flavor that reads as refined rather than stark or technical.
The design appears aimed at a traditional reading experience with added character from flared terminals—balancing familiarity with a subtle, handcrafted voice. It prioritizes steady rhythm and durable letterforms while providing enough distinctive detailing to stand out in headings and display text.
Capitals feel stately and balanced, while lowercase maintains a steady texture suited to continuous reading. The numerals share the same flared, serifed treatment, appearing sturdy and consistent with the text color, supporting both editorial and display settings without looking overly modern.
