A crisp serif with pronounced flaring at stroke terminals and wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than bracketed. Strokes show clear contrast, with thin hairlines and fuller verticals, and the curves are smooth and generously rounded. Proportions are fairly tall with a large x-height, giving lowercase a compact, readable rhythm while capitals remain stately and slightly wide in their round forms. Numerals read as oldstyle figures with varying heights and subtle calligraphic modulation, matching the text color of the alphabet.
This face is well suited to editorial typography—books, essays, and magazine text—where a refined serif texture and strong readability are needed. It can also support headlines, identity systems, and packaging that benefit from a classic tone with a distinctive flared finish.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a calm, cultivated presence suited to long-form reading. Its flared terminals add a subtly crafted, human touch, keeping the page from feeling mechanical while still looking polished and formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable, traditional serif voice with added character through flared stroke endings. It aims for an editorial, print-friendly texture that feels crafted and authoritative without becoming overly decorative.
In text, spacing and counters look open and even, and the flared terminals provide a distinctive texture at word edges. The design balances traditional serif cues with a slightly contemporary cleanliness, avoiding heavy ornament while maintaining a recognizable personality.
