A serif text face with moderate stroke contrast and subtly flared terminals that broaden into the serifs, giving strokes a gently calligraphic, chiseled finish. Serifs are bracketed and smooth rather than blunt, with a steady, even rhythm and generous interior space in letters like C, G, O, and e. Proportions read slightly expanded, with sturdy capitals and clear differentiation between round and vertical forms; the lowercase shows a traditional two-story a and g, and a compact, readable texture in paragraphs.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and magazine layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs effectively in refined branding, invitations, and institutional materials, and scales up cleanly for headings that benefit from its flared, crafted terminals.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, conveying polish and authority without feeling overly ornate. The flared endings add a quiet warmth and a crafted, literary character that suits formal communication as well as cultured branding.
Likely designed to provide a dependable, classical reading experience while adding personality through flared, bracketed serif construction. The intention appears to balance familiar text-face conventions with a slightly more sculpted, calligraphic finish for a distinctive but restrained voice.
Figures appear lining and well-balanced, with open shapes in 0, 6, 8, and 9 that keep them legible at text sizes. The sample text shows stable word shapes and a calm color on the page, with enough contrast and terminal detail to remain distinctive in headlines while staying comfortable for extended reading.
