A serif typeface with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and distinctly flared, bracketed terminals that give stems a gently sculpted finish. Round letters like C, O, and Q are generously open and evenly weighted, while verticals remain confident and steady, producing a calm, consistent texture. The uppercase feels broad and stately with clear, traditional proportions; the lowercase shows a moderate x-height with compact ascenders and descenders and soft, slightly calligraphic joins. Numerals are solid and legible, matching the text weight and carrying the same flared, serifed detailing.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a steady, traditional texture is desired. The confident caps and distinctive flared terminals also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and brand applications that want a classic, crafted voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, balancing traditional serif authority with a warmer, more human, hand-influenced finish. Its flared endings add a quiet elegance rather than sharp formality, making it feel dependable and refined without becoming cold.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional serif voice by using low-contrast construction and flared terminals to create warmth and durability in print-like settings. It aims for reliable readability with enough distinctive detailing at stroke ends to feel curated and characterful.
In text, spacing and counters read comfortably, and the face maintains clarity through varied letterforms—especially in diagonals and curved joins—without relying on high contrast. The italics are not shown; the displayed style reads as a straightforward roman intended for continuous reading.
