A serif typeface with gently flared terminals and softly bracketed serifs that give strokes a subtly calligraphic, sculpted finish. Stems are steady and even, with rounded joins and open, well-formed counters that keep text clear at paragraph sizes. Proportions feel traditional: capitals are dignified and fairly wide, while lowercase forms show smooth curves, moderate apertures, and compact, balanced bowls. Details like the wedge-like feet on strokes and the tapered endings on arms add a controlled, old-style rhythm without looking overly ornate.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also support headlines and branding that benefit from a refined, heritage-leaning feel, and it works nicely for formal print pieces such as programs or invitations where the flared details add polish without high contrast.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a composed, slightly traditional voice. The flared stroke endings add warmth and humanist character, making it feel more literary than purely mechanical. It reads as confident and established—appropriate for content that wants gravitas without heaviness.
The design appears intended to combine classic serif readability with a subtle flared, calligraphic finish, creating an authoritative text face that still feels human and crafted. It prioritizes steady rhythm and clarity in continuous text while preserving distinctive terminal shaping for character.
Numbers are clear and straightforward, matching the same flared finishing and consistent color as the letters. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright, with punctuation and spacing that support comfortable continuous reading in the text setting.
