A text-oriented serif with subtly flared, bracketed terminals and a steady, moderately modulated stroke. The letters feel broad and open, with generous counters, rounded bowls, and a calm horizontal rhythm. Serifs are sharp but not hairline, and many strokes widen toward their ends, producing a gentle calligraphic swell rather than strict geometric rigidity. Curves are smooth and full, while joins and corners stay crisp, giving the design a solid, well-inked presence at display and text sizes.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classical serif texture is desired. It also performs convincingly for headlines, pull quotes, and heritage-leaning branding, especially where a sturdy, crafted serif voice can carry at larger sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and assured, suggesting literary and institutional contexts. Its flared endings and soft stroke swelling add warmth and craft, keeping the voice from feeling purely formal. The result reads as confident, bookish, and slightly old-world without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, readable serif structure while adding character through flared, swelling terminals and a subtly calligraphic finish. It aims for dependable paragraph color with enough individuality for prominent typographic moments.
Numerals read clearly with strong weight distribution and stable baselines, and the lowercase shows robust, rounded forms that maintain legibility in paragraphs. Uppercase construction feels stately and evenly spaced, with distinctive, slightly calligraphic shaping in diagonals and terminals.
